[7u] Request for approval for two PKI bug fixes: 8011867 and 8011745

[Seán Coffey]

Weijun,

would you regard this fix as a spec change for an update release ? Do 
docs specify what PKI related data types the JDK supports anywhere ? I'm 
just wondering if this could introduce an unexpected behavioural change 
for some applications. Have all related TCK tests been run ?

regards,
Sean.
