Hi,

Thank you for looking into this! To some extent I am wondering if we should
leave some flexibility here for the applications to decide, but probably
you are right that we should write those parts explicitly. More precisely:
1) I made the use of DER encoding explicit in the part where we specify
CDDL for x5bag.
2) I clarified that the hash is computed over the DER encoding of the
certificate. I am not completely sure that we should limit the use of x5t
to only reference the certificate containing the end-entity key, but that
is also fine with me.

Thanks,
Ivaylo
