[IETF-PKIX] CMP, feb, 1998

To the list,

Having obtained 'Certificate Management Protocols' for february 1998
I find the following ASN.1 comment strange (a value of -1 to be ...):

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)

well, the corresponding request has ASN.1 structure:

CertRequest ::= SEQUENCE {
    certReqId     INTEGER,
    certTemplate  CertTemplate,
    controls      Controls OPTIONAL }

where certReqId is NOT optional. Did I miss something?
