John:

This one comment was not addressed in my long reply to Jim Schaad's
note.  So, I am handling it separately.

39) Section 11.3 Signing Time:  Jim stated and Russ agreed: "I think we
should loosen up the locations allows for signing-time.  I would like to see
it allowed as an autenticated attribute."
I don't object to this change.  If the change is made, please make the
following replacement:

OLD: The SignedAttributes syntax is defined as a SET OF Attributes.  The
     SignedAttributes in a signerInfo MUST not include multiple instances
     of the signing-time attribute.

NEW: The SignedAttributes and AuthAttributes syntaxes are each defined as
     a SET OF Attributes.  The SignedAttributes in a signerInfo MUST NOT
     include multiple instances of the signing-time attribute.  Similarly,
     the AuthAttributes in an AuthenticatedData MUST NOT include multiple
     instances of the signing-time attribute.

Good catch.  I did some minor edits on your proposed text:

   The SignedAttributes syntax and the AuthAttributes syntax are each
   defined as a SET OF Attributes.  The SignedAttributes in a signerInfo
   MUST NOT include multiple instances of the signing-time attribute.
   Similarly, the AuthAttributes in an AuthenticatedData MUST NOT
   include multiple instances of the signing-time attribute.
