I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for, based on what you're
saying here, but I'll take a shot, and someone will correct me if I'm
wrong. I *think* that if you are using a modp group, you want to use
group generator one (value 7) as the attribute class ID, followed by the
generator value. I agree that there should probably be some more
descriptive text in the appendix.
