The PKIX Certificate Management Protocols (PKIX-CMP) specification 
[1], while primarily focused on X.509v3 public-key certificates, 
allows the messages it defines to be used for the management of  
alternative certificate formats as well.  This document specifies 
precisely how such formats may be incorporated into PKIX-CMP and 
provides the relevant syntax for some important certificate types.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
