Title: RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-pkix-rfc2511bis-00.txt

Since the same comment that had previously been added in rfc2510bis for clarifying when the EncryptedValue is used to carry a private key was also added in this Internet Draft, PKCS#11 and ANSI X9.42 should probably be added as references in this document.

Note also that the next draft of PKCS#11 v2.11 will include explicit support for the ANSI X9.42 flavour of Diffie-Hellman and the wrapping (i.e. encryption) of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman private keys.  Therefore the exception that the D-H algorithm OID and parameters MUST be as defined in ANSI X9.42 might soon become superfluous.

Cheers,

Francois
