John:

Thanks.  The contentType attribue is defined in CMS, and it already has an
OID.

I will assign an OID for the encapsulatedContentType attribute.  In fact,
I'll do it now ... I assigned:

    id-smime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) 
            rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) 16 }

    id-aa   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 2 }

    id-aa-encapContentType OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-aa 6 }

Russ,

ESS, Sec 1.3.4 already lists encapsulatedContentType as a separate
attribute.  This is needed to provide equivalent services as the ACP120
encapsulatedContentType.  

Please note that the ESS Open Issues (Appendix D) states that OIDs still
need to be defined for the contentType and encapsulatedContentType
attributes.
