Please read Tero's remarks below the erratas ("VERIFIER NOTES").  While
as sender you should e.g. not explicitly encode SHA-1 or send the
trailerField (i.e. the encoding from the erratas, with corrected length,
should be used) a recipient must understand both formats.  So the ASN.1
blobs in the RFC are not really wrong (they can be parsed perfectly
fine), they are just too explicit.

Tobias
