[Sidrops] Re: new MerkleTree/HTTP-based cache syncing approach: draft-spaghetti-sidrops-rpki-erik-protocol-00

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Job:

Why is the OCTET STRING wrapper used here:

	...
	location OCTET STRING } -- subjectInfoAccess extnValue

I realize that this is the form that it might appear in a certificate extension, but in many ASN.1 decoder implementations, this forces two separate calls to the decoder.

In certificates this was done on purpose as part of the transition from the v1 syntax to v3 syntax.  Such backward compatibility is not a concern here.
