Stephen Farrell and I discussed this today.  When this document reaches IETF Last Call, I will raise this question from two perspectives.  First, ask if others agree with my interpretation that the use of a structure other that ASN.1 is  prohibited by RFC 2459, RFC 3280, and RFC 5280.  Second, ask if this decision will break any certificate processing software.
