Re: SMIMECapabilities OID

This recent chatter about OIDs leads me to believe that we have violated
the OID naming conventions with the SMIMECapabilities OID.  The initial
'S' should probably be lower-case:

sMIMECapabilities

And now we're as cool as dNSName in PKIX!

Russ / Peter / whoever -- is this indeed the convention?
 
Yes, it should be lowercase (I had to change the sarcastic comment I'd made 
about "iPAddress" in my X.509 guide when I was notified of this rule for ASN.1 
identifiers).
 
Peter.
