The change itself looks fine to me since bits 8 and 7 will always be zero when
`nextByte` is 0x30. It looks like the second check was to see if the tag was a
context-specific tag, but I don't know why since RFC 5280 doesn't indicate that
it can be context specific. I wonder if it is a remnant from an earlier
version of the code.
Regardless, the second clause isn't doing anything so the removal looks good to
me.
