Summary	0008585: Clarification needed to subtype handling in relation to CertificateGroupType.CertificateTypes
Description	The spec says "Abstract base types may be used in this value and indicate that any subtype is allowed.". 1) Shouldn't it better say "any concrete subtype is allowed"? 2) Does that mean that if a concrete type is used in this value, its subtypes are not allowed? (e.g.: EccApplicationCertificateType). That would be possible, but in violation of general OOP rules. If the intent is not to have this meaning, why is there then a special text for "abstract base types" when, in fact, concrete base types behave precisely the same?

Jim Luth 2023-03-23 21:50 administrator ~0019031	Agreed that removing the word Abstract from "Abstract base types may be used in this value and indicate that any subtype is allowed." will solve both issues.
