Can you provide a quote from that document?  I wrote much of Smart energy
profile PKI stuff a long while back.  I don=E2=80=99t remember seeing that =
term.

Given just what you wrote, I would take PKI consumer as really any entity
served by a given PKI system.  In this case it would be the manufacturers,
devices and operators of 2030.5 systems.  So not just the entity to which a
certificate is issued.
