Whether you believe that PGP Inc would do such a thing or not, I doubt

Inc writing the draft around PGP Inc product.  The same conflict of

Point of accuracy -- the current S/MIME spec is being written by:

Section 1: Cryptographic Message Syntax
Russ Housley
SPYRUS

Section 2: Enhanced Security Services for S/MIME
Paul Hoffman
Internet Mail Consortium

Section 3: S/MIME Version 3 Message Specification
Blake Ramsdell
Worldtalk

Please note that none of the authors are RSADSI employees.  You may also
note that this new spec has no MUST requirement for any RSADSI
technology.
