Hi,

I came across a (possible) oversight in RFC 6487, Section 4.4 about
the issuer field:

>    An issuer name MUST contain one instance of the CommonName attribute
>    and MAY contain one instance of the serialNumber attribute.  If both
>    attributes are present, it is RECOMMENDED that they appear as a set.
>    The CommonName attribute MUST be encoded using the ASN.1 type
>    PrintableString [X.680].

This wording does not define the encoding of the serialNumber
attribute.

While mailing with Rob he told me that the serialNumber came later
into the spec, and most likely the definition has been just forgotten.
Can someone from the authors clarify?
