An RFC Editor note instructing them to replace [ThisRFC] might be
helpful.

The shepherd writeup seems to be missing.

Is the URL for the ITU reference correct?  I tried it in two different browsers and just get a blank page each time.

Other than that, just some nits:

* Everywhere you say "alternate", I think you mean "alternative".

* In the Abstract, in "... the conventions for including these evidence record in the ...", s/record/records/

* In Section one, in "... which continued to be ...", s/continued/continues/

The ITU linked worked for me, but a better one might be https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.208-198811-W/en

Note: This is just a suggestion/thought. No need to reply either way.

Section 1

   The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) [RFC4998] provides two ASN.1
   modules, one using the 1988 syntax [OLD-ASN1], which has been
   deprecated by the ITU-T, and another one using the 2002 syntax
   [NEW-ASN1], which continued to be maintained and enhanced.  [...]

This looks a little weird, since RFC 4998 itself claims to provide
modules with the "1988 syntax" and the "1997 syntax", and 1997 is not
equal to 2002.  Maybe we could have another phrase to relate the two?

Section 2

I don't expect that I have access to the definition of Attribute from
2.5.1.1.4 to be able to compare it to the "AttributeSet {{ERSAttrSet}}"
that we define here.

      CryptoInfos ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Attribute
      [...]
      Attributes ::= SET SIZE (1..MAX) OF Attribute

The module from RFC 4998 seems to impose the additional constraint (for
both of these) that the post-extension-marker component
valuesWithContext is absent (but I could be misreading it); is that
particularly noteworthy?
