I am a little confused in reading section 4 of this draft.

The intro to this section states that:

  "Each RPKI signed object MUST be defined in an Internet standards
   track document based on this profile, by specifying the following
   data elements and validation procedure:"

My question is: Why is the Content-Type Attribute listed as a distinct
data element that requires specification? 

The relevant text (item 3) states that:

  "Content-Type Attribute:  The mandatory Content-Type Attribute
   MUST have its attrValues field set to the same OID as
   eContentType in item 1."

So I understand that in writing a document that uses a RPKI signed object I
have to define the eContentType, but I DO NOT need to also define the
Content-Type Attribute. If this is the case then why is this data element
listed in Section 4 of the draft as being a data element that MUST
be separately specified in the specific object specification?

regards,

  Geoff
