Re: [sidr] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC8416 (7080)

Hi Warren, all,

I (co-author) agree that this was an oversight. I have no objections to the change.

However.. I haven't checked, but beware that current implementations might fail to parse the file if a "comment" member is added here, if they are (overly) strict. I expect that most will simply ignore this member. Perhaps it's wise that this is verified before finalising the errata.

This is the full ASN.1 DER encoding of the subjectPublicKeyInfo, including the ASN.1 tag and length values of the subjectPublicKeyInfo SEQUENCE.
