CMS: RecipientInfo syntax.

1998-07-14 05:59:07
This was mentioned a while ago and is more a cosmetic change than
anything: it may have been too late to be included in the latest CMS
draft. I suggested (and a few agreed) that RecipientInfo should have the
form:

RecipientInfo ::= CHOICE {
  ktri KeyTransRecipientInfo,
  kari [0] KeyAgreeRecipientInfo,
  mlri [1] MailListRecipientInfo  }

As opposed to its current form:

RecipientInfo ::= CHOICE {
  ktri KeyTransRecipientInfo,
  kari [1] KeyAgreeRecipientInfo,
  mlri [2] MailListRecipientInfo  }

this is just following the general rule that the lowest tag values
necessary should be used.
