I am working on the text for the next draft already...

I have not figured out what to do with the section on the Data content
type.  The OID is still needed...

All,

I believe that CMS should mandate the strategy that was agreed to at San
Francisco as follows:

"Proposal #2: Change the CMS SignedData contentInfo field to be
signedContentInfo defined as follows:

SignedContentInfo ::=  SEQUENCE {
   sigContentType       ContentType,
   sigContent      [0]  EXPLICIT  OCTET STRING  OPTIONAL}

It is proposed that the CMS Section 5.3 will be changed so that the
digesting rules are consistent for all types of data that is signed (i.e.
the rules for digesting the Data content type will be extended to all types
of data)."
