Paul:

The OID in the registry is not sufficient.  Please look at CMS Appendix A,
and you will see that the OIDs needed to implement CMS are part of the CMS
module.

1) Sec 1.1.1: The first paragraph was a bit difficult to parse.
Recommend changing it to: "Not all messages need to be triple wrapped.
Triple wrapping is used when a message must be signed, then encrypted,
and then have authenticated attributes bound to the encrypted body.
Outer attributes may be added or removed by the message originator or
intermediate agents, and may be authenticated by intermediate agents or
the final recipient."

This looks good to me. Do others like the new wording?

2) Appendix A: Please add the definition of the id-ct-receipt OID to
the ASN.1 module, if the OID will not be imported from CMS or
another module.  id-ct-receipt is not currently included in any of the
Internet-Drafts, nor are any of the new authenticated attributes.

id-ct-receipt is defined in the OIDs registry at
<http://www.imc.org/ietf-smime/oids.html>, as described in ESS section 1.4.

It would be useful to include the OIDs for all the attributes defined
in Sec 1.3.4 in an ASN.1 module (ESS, CMS, or other), and harmonize the
name of the attribute with the name of the OID listed in the object
registry:

Good suggestion. Done.
