RFC 5035, "Enhanced Security Services (ESS) Update: Adding CertID Algorithm Agility", August 2007

Section 4 says:

        ESSCertIDv2 ::=  SEQUENCE {
            hashAlgorithm           AlgorithmIdentifier
                   DEFAULT {algorithm id-sha256},
            certHash                 Hash,
            issuerSerial             IssuerSerial OPTIONAL
        }

It should say:

        ESSCertIDv2 ::=  SEQUENCE {
            hashAlgorithm           AlgorithmIdentifier
                   DEFAULT {id-sha256},
            certHash                 Hash,
            issuerSerial             IssuerSerial OPTIONAL
        }

Notes:

No value assignment for 'algorithm' exists, and the definition of id-sha256 already contains the full object identifier.
