Subject: PKIFailureInfo in RFC-2510

I have a question in PKIFailureInfo in RFC-2510

the PKIFailureInfo type is defined in 2510 like this.

PKIFailureInfo ::= BIT STRING {
    badAlg (0),
    badMessageCheck (1),
    badRequest (2),
    ...
}

the value (0), (1), (2)... means just INTEGER value? or n-th bit is on?

if it just means INTEGER, I wonder why its type is defined as BIT STRING
rather than INTEGER. :-(
