 Summary: Suggestion to make X509Extension class public
 
 It would be nice perhaps to make this class public so that you can inherit
 from it it in your own namespaces, thereby beeing able to roll your own,
 private X509 extensions.

+The X509Extension class is already public inside Mono.Security.dll
+(but isn't inside corlib to keep binary compatibility).
+
+<snip>
+namespace Mono.Security.X509 {
+	/*
+	 * Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
+	 *	extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
+	 *	critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+	 *	extnValue   OCTET STRING  
+	 * }
+	 */
+#if INSIDE_CORLIB
+	internal
+#else
+	public 
+#endif
+	class X509Extension {
+</snip>
+
+But the default ctor is internal so you must use the .ctor(ASN1) when
+inheriting the class.
