Subject: rfc2510bis (CMP) question

draft-ietf-pkix-rfc2510bis-02 section 3.3.4 has the following syntax for a 
certification response:

   CertResponse ::= SEQUENCE {
       certReqId           INTEGER,
       -- to match this response with corresponding request (a value
       -- of -1 is to be used if certReqId is not specified in the
       -- corresponding request)
       status              PKIStatusInfo,
       certifiedKeyPair    CertifiedKeyPair    OPTIONAL,
       rspInfo             OCTET STRING        OPTIONAL
       -- analogous to the id-regInfo-utf8Pairs OCTET STRING defined
       -- for regInfo in CertReqMsg [rfc2511bis]
   }

I don't understand the comment for the rspInfo field -- rfc2511bis has the 
UTF8Pairs registration info value defined as UTF8String, not OCTET STRING. 
Can anyone enlighten me as to how rspInfo is supposed to be encoded?

Thanks,
