RE: Evaluation: draft-ietf-pkix-rfc2511bis - Internet X.509 Publi cKey Infrastructure Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) to Propose dStandard

actually RFC 2511 is inconsistent; the collected syntax says it's claled id-regInfo-utf8Pairs.

I suspect they did the ASCII -> UTF-8 change, but checked the collected syntax more thoroughly than the inline syntax....

Presumably they meant "in a significant way"; the ASCII -> UTF8
change probably does count as a change.  Changing the name of an
OID is not legal in SNMP; I have no idea what the rules are for this.
(This document renames { id-regInfo 1 } from id-regInfo-asciiPairs to
id-regInfo-utf8Pairs).
