Hi Sean

Are you OK with this?

Almost every class in the x509 package is built around the CertAttrSet and they together weave an elegant net. It will be nice if CertificateExtensions can only use the hierarchical names as keys, but unfortunately, it has to use OID sometimes.

My suggestion above breaks it from the CertAttrSet net. I won't dare to do this before jdk9 because people outside might use these classes, but now it's probably safe to do so.

Said that, CertificateExtensions is now an alien. Although its sibling CRLExtensions has always been one.

Thanks
Max
