Russ,

Sect 6.2: should not the RecipientInfo CHOICE elements be tagged?  All the
elements of the CHOICE are SEQUENCE type with a common first element:
version.  Would not this make the decoding ambiguous?  I am not sure that
the version value is sufficient to remove the ambiguity if a compiler is
used to create decoding routines.  I would like to check that myself but I
do not have an ASN.1 development environment.

Sect 6.2.1, version field description:  I think that EntityIdentifier now
replaces RecipientIdentifier and rKeyId is replaced by SubjectKeyIdentifier.
