Happy new year to all,

The main change is that 

  DEFINITIONS EXPLICIT TAGS ::=

With that the EXPLICIT in 

     extensions   [3] EXPLICIT Extensions    OPTIONAL

seems to be redundant to me? 

Anyway, what is the purpose of that particular EXPLICIT
and the global one? 

Is it a requirement to be able to decode a time stamp
without knowing the syntax?
