Re: asn.1 modules in 3280bis

[Russ Housley <housley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter:

RFC 3280 includes two ASN.1 Modules:
   PKIX1Explicit88, and
   PKIX1Implicit88.

I have no objection to using three ASN.1 Modules in 3280bis:
   PKIX1Explicit88,
   PKIX1Implicit88, and
   PKIX1Extensions.

I'm sure that you could help the authors figure out which type 
definitions to move to the third module.
