rfc2510bis (CMP) question



draft-ietf-pkix-rfc2510bis-02 section 3.3.4 has the following syntax for a certification response:

CertResponse ::= SEQUENCE {
certReqId INTEGER,
-- to match this response with corresponding request (a value
-- of -1 is to be used if certReqId is not specified in the
-- corresponding request)
status PKIStatusInfo,
certifiedKeyPair CertifiedKeyPair OPTIONAL,
rspInfo OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
-- analogous to the id-regInfo-utf8Pairs OCTET STRING defined
-- for regInfo in CertReqMsg [rfc2511bis]
}

I don't understand the comment for the rspInfo field -- rfc2511bis has the UTF8Pairs registration info value defined as UTF8String, not OCTET STRING. Can anyone enlighten me as to how rspInfo is supposed to be encoded?

Thanks,
