Hi Madison et al.,
thank you for your updates.
Nice that you were able to avoid breaking up the line containing
"EXTENSION.&ExtnType({ExtensionSet}{@extnID})) OPTIONAL".
Well, regarding the recent below extension of the intro paragraph of
Appendix A,
having a close look again also at related parts of the document,
I found that the term "Extension Request Template" newly used in the
paragraph has been copied from section 7,
while this term has not really been explicitly introduced (in section
3.4) and its OID uses the abbreviated name "extensionReqTemplate".
As long as this is not considered somewhat confusing, I'd be fine with
it as well.
Appendix A not only introduces the Certification Request Information
Template attribute
and its Extension Request Template / extensionReqTemplate sub-attribute,
but also other sub-structures of the Certification Request Information
Template.
If you are still open for a document adaptation, the paragraph may be
improved to, e.g.,
This appendix provides an ASN.1 module \[X.680\] for the Certification
Request Information Template attribute and its sub-template structures.
It follows the conventions established in \[RFC5911\],
\[RFC5912\], and \[RFC6268\].
Regardless of this minor editorial point, since it only pertains to the
informal intro of Appendix A,
I am also fine with the document, so you can note my approval as well.

Rather than updating to the original suggestion below, we have simply shifted
each line of sourcecode to the left by 2 spaces to retain the original format.

We have noted both approvals on the AUTH48 status page
(seehttps://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9908).
For the line of sourcecode in Section 3.4, the warning pertains to the text
output, where the line is 74 characters (2 over the limit of 72 characters).
txt (74 characters):
EXTENSION.&ExtnType({ExtensionSet}{@extnID})) OPTIONAL
html (71 characters):
EXTENSION.&ExtnType({ExtensionSet}{@extnID})) OPTIONAL
Thus, we have updated this line of sourcecode to our original suggestion below:
1. <!--\[rfced\] Does Appendix A provide the ASN.1 module for the Extension
Request Template attribute? Or is it provided for the Certification Request
Information Template attribute only?
Original:
This appendix provides an ASN.1 module \[X.680\] for the Certification
Request Information Template attribute, and it follows the
conventions established in \[RFC5911\], \[RFC5912\], and \[RFC6268\].
Perhaps:
This appendix provides an ASN.1 module \[X.680\] for the Certification
Request Information Template and Extension Request Template
attributes, and it follows the conventions established in \[RFC5911\],
\[RFC5912\], and \[RFC6268\].

AUTHORS: I think yes. NOT QUITE SURE.
