I sincerely regret not having had sufficient time to review the S/MIME v3

must be made before they can progress to final Standard.
The issues you bring up here were not changed in the last call drafts. The
location of the requirements for algorithms has been the same for over a
year. I believe that it is inappropriate for you to object to the RFC
Editor at this very late date.
The step after they become Proposed Standards is to possibly become Draft
Standards, not "final Standard". There will be plenty of time to discuss
your issues in the Working Group in the interim.
