I belive that this would pass muster as a "non-normative" reference,
meaning that CMS would not be held up by ESS; I like that. However, I think
we should mention the MSG spec as well, since signingTime and
smimeCapabilities are also important attributes. Thus, I would change the
sendtence added to read:
Additional attributes are defined in many places, notably the S/MIME
Version 3 Message Specification [MSG] and the Enhanced Security Services
for S/MIME [ESS], which also include recommendations on the placement of
these attributes.
