Re: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC4211 (4797)

Just correction:

The Notes should be as follows:
------------------------------------------

The original text conflicts with the following text block (just several
lines later).

"     The fields of POPOSigningKey have the following meaning:

      ...

      signature contains the POP value produce.  If poposkInput is
      present, the signature is computed over the DER-encoded value of
      poposkInput.  If poposkInput is absent, the signature is computed
      over the DER-encoded value of certReq."
