1) The spec "defines how to create certification requests that conform to
PKCS #10 [PKCS-10], and the application/pkcs10 MIME type for transporting
those requests." Shouldn't the spec also define how to create certification
requests that conform to the PKIX Certificate Management Protocol spec?
Given that this document describes the IETF version of S/MIME, I think
*also* is the wrong word. The S/MIME v3 spec should define how to create
certification requests using the IETF Certificate Management Protocol,
period. PKCS #10-format requests are included as an option within CMP.
