Hi,

I read RFC 3280 4.2.1.7 again.

OtherName ::= SEQUENCE {
        type-id    OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        value      [0] EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY type-id }

Does "EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY type-id" mean that the software (e.g.
OpenSSL) must know which ASN1-type does the type-id require?

If the answer is yes then we must extend objects.txt and change the
perlscripts. It's a lot of work for such a small change.
