Subject: SCVP : Basic & Name Validation Algorithms

The syntax of the validationAlg is:

     ValidationAlg ::= SEQUENCE {
       valAlgId              OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
       parameters            ANY DEFINED BY valAlgId OPTIONAL }

   The following section specifies the basic validation algorithm and
   the name validation algorithm.

[Denis]  The Name Validation Algorithm (section 3.2.4.2.3) is exclusive 
of the Basic Validation Algorithm (section 3.2.4.2.1). 
I would expect that this is unintentional. 
See my proposal on how to solve this by redefining ValidationPolicy.
