1.  Key Encryption Algorithms should be divided into three different
sections:

12.3.1 Key Agreement Key Encryption Algorithms
      used in KeyAgreeRecipientInfo.
      Sub-sections are Static Diffie-Hellman with tripleDES and Static
Diffie-Hellman with RC2

12.3.2 Key Transport Key Encryption Algorithms
      Used in KeyTransRecipientInfo
      Sub-section would be RSA

12.3.3 Mail List Key Encryption Algorithms
      Used in MailListRecipientInfo
      Sub-Sections are Mail List tripleDES and Mail List RC2

This organization makes good sense to me. Do the other folks reading the
CMS spec agree?
