You should bother as X.509 is the recommendation most downloaded of all ITU-T Recommendations and is an important PKI/PMI player. When updating X.509 it is important to consult also the PKIX experts.

For a PKIX-version of this topic I would make a difference between "certificate producers" that indeed SHOULD/MUST generate DER encoding while "certificate consumers" SHOULD NOT break due to incorrect decoding. Certificate consumers in browsers are already dealing with pretty broken certificates. --anders _______________________________________________ pkix mailing list pkix@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pkix ----- www.x500standard.com: The central source for information on the X.500 Directory Standard.
