I would prefer not to have the version be imported if we are going to start
using the enumerated list of version information.  If that is the case then
I think that each draft should define its own version of version so that
only the version numbers pertaining to the structures in the draft can be
used.  I have no particular preference on either definition, just a
preference that if the second one is used it be done explicitly in the ESS
draft rather than importing from the CMS draft.

I think it would be clearer if we changed the definition of "Version" in
smime-cms from:

      Version ::= INTEGER
to
      Version ::= INTEGER { v1(1), v2(2) }

This is fine with me, although we need to add "v3(3)" since CMS has many
things that have versions that must be 3. I'd actually prefer this, so that
ESS simply IMPORTS Version and doesn't have to define anything new.
