Hi,

I was starting to review this draft and I realized that most of  Section 3.2
is based in "human readable" information.

In SEND, we are not identifying people but functions in equipments, so I am
not sure I share how the section is written. Moreover, the cert. profile
document particularly requests that names should be "meaningless" in RPKI.
This is to avoid any sort of legal issues.

So, a certificate with a bizarre CN could still be valid for SEND. Please
check this website with valid RPKI certificates: http://rpki.he.net/

All in all, I believe we should not take for granted that the distinguished
name field for either the subject or the issuer of a SEND certificate should
always be human readable.

Regards,

Roque
