Thank you. I already knew that one.

The problem is that not the vendors itself add their entries but
normal users enter what they believe is the name and ASN.1 syntax.

Example: Can someone give me the complete ASN.1 syntax of
entrustVersInfo (OID 1.2.840.113533.7.65.0)? E.g. alvestrand.no
says:

  entrustVersInfo EXTENSION ::= {
          SYNTAX EntrustVersInfoSyntax
          IDENTIFIED BY { id-nsn-ext 0}
  }

  EntrustVersInfoSyntax ::= OCTET STRING

But according to the ASN.1 parser I'm using it seems to be a
SEQUENCE of a string containing the version (e.g. "V4.0") and a BIT
STRING containing some flags.

See output of Peter Gutmann's dumpasn1:

:         SEQUENCE {
 564 06    9:           OBJECT IDENTIFIER
            :             entrustVersInfo (1 2 840 113533 7 65 0)
 575 04   12:           OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
 577 30   10:               SEQUENCE {
 579 1B    4:                 GeneralString 'V4.0'
 585 03    2:                 BIT STRING 4 unused bits
            :                   '1001'B
            :                 }
            :               }
            :           }
            :         }
            :       }
            :     }

Ciao, Michael.
