Section 4.2.1 says:
In the last paragraph on page 11 says: identifier contains a name that the CA/RA can associate with the requestor. This will generally be either the DN of a certificate or a text token passed and known to both the requestor and the CA/RA. ...
It should say:
identifier contains a name that the CA/RA can associate with the requestor. This will generally be either a portion of either a subject name or subject alternative name (either from an existing certificate or from the certificate request) or a text token passed and known to both the requestor and the CA/RA.
Notes:
The location of the DN material will vary based on the question of whether
this is an archive operator or a POP operation.
