Magnus, Jim:

FWIW and in the spirit of Last Call, I agree with Jim.  It seems
a rather innocuous point, but issues are made of such stuff.  As
I see it, this is the PKIX/IETF standard means of expressing
this information in an X.509-based certificate.  The fact that
its OID happens to be rooted off id-pe should not be taken as
invitation to revisit the addressed needs with a view towards a
"public" version.
