--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Pierce Leonberger <pierce.leonberger@baesystems.com>

Section: 3.2.1.3.2

Original Text
-------------
The Data content type allows for general transport of unstructured
   data.

   The Data content type is used by this document for:

      Holding the encrypted random value y for POP proof in the
      encrypted POP control (see Section 6.7).

Corrected Text
--------------
See Notes

Notes
-----
It's invalid for the encoding of an ANY or OpenType to have "unstructured" data.  See X.690 section 8.15:

8.15 Encoding of an open type
The value of an open type is also a value of some (other) ASN.1 type. The encoding of such a value shall be the complete encoding herein specified for the value considered as being of that other type.

Note there's similar wording in X.209 section 21 for ANY:

21 Encoding of a value of the ANY type
The encoding of an ANY type shall be the complete encoding specified in this Recommendation for the type of the value of the ANY type.
