Peter Gutmann's X.509 Style Guide:
"There seems to be a lot of confusion about how to implement
and work with X.509 certificates, either because of ASN.1
encoding issues, or because vagueness in the relevant standards
means people end up taking guesses at what some of the fields
are supposed to look like. For this reason I've put together
these guidelines to help in creating software to work with X.509
certificates, PKCS #10 certification requests, CRL's, and other
ASN.1-encoded data types."
