Re: New Liaison Statement, "Liaison to IETF on the removal of upper bound in X.509"

Paul,

Here is a web site that contains the ASN.1 modules for "X-Series 
Recommendations":  http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/asn1/database/itu-t/x

It appears that the upper bounds module, which appears in X.520, has 
changed with each edition.  At least, the web site indicates that the 
OID for the module has changed from the 1997 edition to the 2001 
edition, and again with the publication of the 2005 edition.  I didn't 
attempt to compare the modules to see how they changed.
