General User Information Format, UserInfo-1

The definition below is provided for use within the userInformationField parameter of the InitializeRequest or InitializeResponse APDUs, in situations where the otherInfo parameter cannot be used (specifically, when version 3 is not in force). The userInformationField parameter is defined simply as EXTERNAL, while the otherInfo parameter has a richer definition. The purpose of this definition is to register an object defined as identical to that richer definition, that the userInformationField parameter may assume.
