2.  In section 3.4.33 and section F2,  the application/pkcs7-signature

correct behavior, however it would appear from section E.2 that
smime-type is an optional parameter for this type.   I recommend that we
remove smime-type as an optional parameter in section E.2 and E.3.
(Failing that I believe that we need to specify a value(s) for it and
use it in our examples.)

I agree smime-type is not useful for detached signatures or for
certificate requests.  This should get yanked.  I think this got in by
mistake.
