I just got a "heads up" message from Hoyt Kesterson.

Hoyt believes that the ISO/ITU-T Directory group will publish the 5th 
edition of X.509 by June 2005. They have a policy of supporting the current 
edition and the previous edition. At the moment they support (meaning that 
they will process defect reports) the 3rd and 4th editions.  So, in June 
they will drop support of the 3rd edition.
