Well in the past all manner of weird OIDs have been added which we
aren't likely ever to do anything with. I not that keen on doing that
but not violently opposed to it.

These at least have the virtue that we *might* do something with them.
In the case of "X509v3 Issuing Distribution Point" the OID and extension
support has been added to 0.9.9.
