Thanks to Eric for the excellent spec.

Just one brief point. 

This spec suggests that the ephemeral key may be the same for several
messages and that under such circumstances a separate pubInfo MUST be
used with each message (2.3). pubInfo coming from ukm in CMS.

However in the CMS the two ES examples given (12.3.1.1 [err there are
two section 12.3.1.1's: typo?]) state that ukm must be absent.

Personally I'd prefer it if ukm was allowed with CMS rather than banning
it from X942.

Steve.
