Good point though I think that was primarily based on whether the 
external standard was referenced in the javadocs of the standard APIs or 
influenced the behavior of existing APIs in some way. I don't think 
PKCS#11 is referenced from any of our standard APIs, but since this new 
version does add support for additional crypto algorithms via the 
standard APIs that weren't previously available, that sounds like a good 
enough reason for filing the CSR.

I would recommend adding some additional details to the CSR to list what 
new features/algorithms PKCS#11 v2.40 provides and which standard APIs 
those features are applicable to. It would also be helpful to add 
similar details to the main issue and the release note as there aren't 
many details about what features are in the new version.

Thanks,
Sean
