RE: Last Call: Use of the CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm in CMS to Proposed Standard

Two comments, don't know if they're major.

1. Section 3 does not list an SMIMECapability for key wrapping using IDEA,
only for symmetric encryption.  Don't know if that was intended.

2. I think that the example in section 3 should clarify that the
cast5CBCParameters are encoded with the iv omitted.
