Why the duplication of the X.500 attribute definitions, renamed with the
prefix 'cabf' ? Do the existing set of module definitions not suffice via
import?

With respect to the EV OIDs, you used the abbreviation joi, which is
presumably jurisdictionOfIncorporation. However, Ballot 119 was adopted to
remove the "ofIncorporation" suffix. At the risk of subtle pedantry, I
suspect this might be better as

id-ev-jursidiction ID ::= {ldap-enterprise microsoft(311) ev(60) 2 1}
id-ev-jurisdiction-localityName ID ::= {id-ev-jurisdiction 1}
id-ev-jurisdiction-stateOrProvinceName ID ::= {id-ev-jurisdiction 2}
id-ev-jurisdiction-countryName ID ::= {id-ev-jurisdiction 3}

I suspect Jody might be able to work with Microsoft's OID maintenance team
to figure out how Microsoft would prefer 60.2.1 be documented, similar to
other documents (e.g.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/287547/object-ids-associated-with-microsoft-cryptography
or https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677614(v=vs.85).aspx )

I found a couple of errors in the tor appendix.  I think I got the intent

Can you clarify the errors you see? A quick visual scan only shows the
differences being the introduction of the EXTENSION .. IDENTIFIED BY
syntax, is that correct?
