It is not necessary for any third party PKCS#11 module to understand or
implement any vendor-defined constants used by Mozilla products.
PKCS#11 itself defines how a module should handle unknown vendor-defined
types of objects, attributes, etc.  The specified behavior for unknown
types depends on the API function being called.

Having said that, NSS's chief PKCS#11 guru is on vacation for the rest of
the month.

If you're having specific issues with vendor-defined types, please give
us the specific details of the problems you're having.  On the other hand,
if you're merely curious about these vendor-defined types, my advice is:
treat them as unknown types.
