I'm not terribly familiar with OIDs in ASN.1 and the like, so I wanted to confirm that I have the correct impression here.
If I were to create a custom X.509 certificate extension for use within my enterprise and with others outside who wanted to write or modify their own software to interoperate with it, I'd need to assign an OID for this extension, right? And for that, would the standard way to do this be to assign an OID underneath the one assigned to us by the IANA in their Private Enterprise Number list[1], right? (I note that [1] claims to be the "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes", but I gather that others use this for pretty much anything where they need a unique OID.)
