I think you can marked this one as verified. I’ve got an AI to add it to -rfc5272bbis.

> In ASN.1, NULL is a type that is encoded as 0x0500. NULL is not appropriate in this context because the corresponding field is defined as a Name. NULL-DN is defined in RFC4210 as "a zero-length SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedNames". A NULL-DN is encoded as 0x3000. This is almost certainly what was intended here. Note, RFC4210 is not referenced by RFC5272 currently, so that would need to be changed as well to reference NULL-DN.
