It is indeed not in the spec. I left it in my WD03 pkcs11t.h as I
imagined this issue would be discussed immediately and people could use
the definition as a reference.

But if CK_PKCS5_PBKD2_PARAMS2 will be handled in an amendment to the
spec, then we should indeed leave it out of the pkcs11t.h header until
such an amendment is ready.

In general the headers should match the currently released version of
the spec as close as possible. Obviously there are some constants [1] in
headers that are not yet in the spec, but that's an exception due to our
process.

Cheers,

Stef
