ITU-T X.509 (2000) Technical Corrigendum 3 (X.509 TC 3)
had alreay come in force. In X.509 TC 3, a noticeable change
is the Issuing Distribution Point extension has now split into
two extensions, namely the Issuing Distribution Point (IDP)
extension and the AA Issuing Distribution Point (AA IDP)
extension.

In the new IDP extension, some of the field names has been
changed but the semantics are kept backward-compatible. In
addition, the onlyContainsAttributeCerts field has be removed
from the IDP extension, while the AA IDP extension take
the role to specify the CRL scope related to attribute authority
and attribute certificate.

Should the syntax of the IDP extension in RFC 3280 be modified
to keep aligned with X.509 (2000) TC 3?
