I decided against changing them on the basis that I'd prefer to show what they
match over the way they are fabricated.  The id and skid members do show how
they are fabricated.  If you really want, I can show both - but my thought is
that if you look at how AuthorityKeyIdentifier is constructed, you can work it
out reasonably easily.
