Hi,

	In the ESS example 11.5 which is a message with the mlExpansionHistory 
attribute,
	the expansionTime field in the ASN1 type MLData  contains a GeneralizedTime
	value which appears to be incorrect.

	Here is a portion of example 11.5.

   749 30  234:                 SEQUENCE {
   752 30  231:                   SEQUENCE {
   755 04    7:                     OCTET STRING
              :                   35 37 33 38 32 39 39
   764 18   16:                     GeneralizedTime '199903111044330Z'
   782 A1  201:                     [1] {
   785 30  198:                       SEQUENCE {
   788 A4   97:                         [4] {
	
	The GeneralizedTime value contains a "0" after the seconds value(33). I 
think this is not allowed in an
	ASN.1 GeneralizedTime but I could be wrong.


         Thanks,
