Subject:        [T17Q11] Attribute certificate path

Hi Folks,

I noticed that 12.2 of X.509 talks about attribute certificate path. However, the associated ASN.1 is a data type is called AttributeCertificationPath. As we for public-key certificates talk about certification path, it seems reasonable to use the term "attribute certification path" rather that "attribute certificate path".

I also noticed that the ASN.1 indicates that the path is bottom up rather top down:

AttributeCertificationPath ::= SEQUENCE {

  attributeCertificate  AttributeCertificate,

  acPath                SEQUENCE OF ACPathData OPTIONAL,

  ... }

Please come back with comments.

Erik
