Once again, reviewing documents for the first time in a while; apologies if
this is OBE, but:

        The CERT draft, section 2.2, first sentence, says "Receiving agents MUST
support PKIX V1 and PKIX v3 certificates..."

There are no PKIX v1 certificates.  (This looks like an artifact of a
global replacement X.509 -> PKIX.)  Recommend that this be changed to
"Receiving agents MUST support PKIX certificates..."  unless there is some
other type of certificates that you want to support (say, for backward
compatibility with S/MIMEv2).  If there is such a type of certificates,
please identify it.
