And you blame this lack of interoperability on the S/MIME spec, not
on the six-part "profile" put out by the German government? Somehow,
I suspect it is the latter....
I think it arises principally from the well-know inadequacies of X509, and
from inconsistent attempts to add new "features" to X509 certificates.
