These all look fine to me.

Sec 6, Sec 6.2 and Sec 6.4 should indicate if the different key management
techniques can be used in combination for the various recipients and/or a
single recipient of an encrypted content. Reading Sec 6, it does not seem
to preclude either approach.

It is possible for there to be three recipients, each with a different key
managament technique.  What needs to change to make this clear?

I would suggest the following changes to clarify this:

The last sentence of the first paragraph of Sec 6 should read:

"Any type of content can be enveloped for an arbitrary number of recipients
using any of the three key management techniques for each recipient"

Add the following sentence after the second sentence in Sec 6.2:

"Any of the three key management techniques can be used for each recipient
of the same encrypted content"

Add the following sentence at the end of Sec 6.4:

"Any of the three key management techniques can be used for each recipient
of the same encrypted content"
