Hi Steven and others,
You are right. If no objection from others, I will see if I can make the
change.
In 5th edition the constraint was (SIZE (0..ub-user-password)). As we moved
the size restrictions, the upper bound was replaced with MAX without too
much thinking.

Subject: [x500standard] Size constraint on userPassword attribute
The text for the sixth edition of X.509 defines the syntax of the
userPassword
attribute to be "OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..MAX))". The constraint "(SIZE
(0..MAX))"
is redundant (it allows all possible sizes) and can be removed.
Regards,
Steven
