Netscape-Defined Certificate Extensions
Netscape has defined certain certificate extensions for use with Navigator and
Communicator. Some of the extensions that have been defined are now obsolete,
and others can be superseded by the extensions defined in the X.509 proposed
standard. All Netscape extensions should be tagged as noncritical, so that their
presence in a certificate does not make that certificate incompatible with other
clients.
