Hi Authors,

Thank you for your reply! We have updated the document as requested and we have

1) Thank you for the suggestions! Please review the changes to the lines above 
in the updated files and let us know any objections.

For Section 3.4, would the following structure work?

Perhaps:
 EXTENSION.&ExtnType({ExtensionSet}{@extnID}))
                     OPTIONAL

2) We have replaced RFC 9480 with RFCs 9810 and 9811. Note that we have updated 
the text below as follows to reflect this change. Please let us know any 
objections.

Original:
   A similar method has been defined in CMP Updates [RFC9480] and the
   Lightweight CMP profile [RFC9483], Section 4.3.3, using a CSR
   template as defined for CRMF [RFC4211].  

Current:
   A similar method has been defined in "Internet X.509 Public Key
   Infrastructure -- Certificate Management Protocol (CMP)" [RFC9810],
   "Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure -- HTTP Transfer for the
   Certificate Management Protocol (CMP)" [RFC9811], and "Lightweight
   Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) Profile" ([RFC9483],
   Section 4.3.3) using a CSR template as defined for CRMF [RFC4211].

3) We ask to update this text because of the following note in the IANA Section:
"For the Certification Request Information Template and Extension Request 
Template attributes in Appendix A…"

We have updated to the Perhaps text above.

4) Thank you for your suggestion. We have sent mail to request that 
"base64-encoded-der" be added to the sourcecode-types list.
