I would object to changing this. I have code which has shipped and uses
these OIDs.

Cool (and a welcome gesture towards fixing broken stuff). So why do we
use their OID?
Sine there's been a deafing silence on this topic, I have two further
questions:
(1) Are there any deployed codebases which would object to changing the
Diffie-Hellman OID in rfc2459 to reflect the fact that it has different
semantics than in X9.42?
I know that John Pawling has stated that Van Dyke's S/MIME Freeware
Library has no issues, and as far as I know Microsoft haven't shipped
anything with Diffie-Hellman, so that S/MIME would appear to be in the
clear on this.
(2) Are there any other groups that profile 2459 that we should ask
about this?.
