Hi,
Regarding the use of biometric data in qualified certificates it is unlikely that
there ever will be a consensus but that should not exclude it from support
in the draft.

So first we have photo_attribute and handwritten_signature_attribute that
we easy can add by putting them in structures consisting of

mime-type (string)
blob   (binary)

Late-breaking news!  There are NIST-standards for fingerprints as well.

Maybe there are standards for retina, DNA-fingerprinting as well?

Call the FBI, they should know!
