    // Add the following 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest
    // Note: The easiest way to know the content and format of the XML to be added is to examine
    // a pre-existing CSR with the same desired extensionRequest.  You can use Chilkat to
    // get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR.

    // Here is a sample extension request:
