Something to keep mind is that there are other sources of info than
the RFCs. The set of attribute types presented isn't even necessarely
complete within the modules they present.
Other sources of information are ITU-T docoments (X.nnn), NIST
documents and various others. Everyone owning an arc within the
private enterprise arc optimally have a document for their arc, but
the's usually less interesting...
