I tried googling, but couldn't find an answer to this...

I came across a certificate that had some text garbage before the ---- BEGIN 
CERTIFICATE ---- line.

I know that the cert is defined as the data between the delimiters.  Do the 
specs say anything about data before the BEGIN delimiter?  Would a certificate 
with such data be valid?  I know OpenSSL accepts such a cert, but is this an 
extension, or is it explicitly permitted by the standards/specifications?

Thanks
