Subject: block padding formats

Hello,

reading draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-07 and draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-09
I noticed the following difference:

draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-07 states:
> The signature algorithm with SHA-1 and the RSA encryption algorithm
> is defined in by the OSI Interoperability Workshop in [OIW]. Padding
> conventions described in PKCS #1, section 8.1, must be used. As

Why did you replace the OIW ObjId with the RSA ObjId ? Is it because
the OIW ObjId 1.3.14.3.2.29 doesn't identify PKCS #1 padding but
9796-1 padding ? Has the draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-07 been wrong at
this point ?
