Hmmm, that could've been a bit clearer. What I mean is that OpenSSL may at some point run an otherName extension through its generic ASN1 parser (as used by the asn1parse tool). It might also allow plugin support for otherName OIDs so code can be written to handle each as a special case with appropriate friendly handling. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
