This is an issue for the protocol itself to decide not for CMS to decide for
all protocols.  Different protocols will progress on accepting or mandating
new algorithms at different rates (look at how slow TLS has been on adopting
AES).  Thus it is the protocol not the underlying CMS objects that will
mandate what algorithms are to be used.
I agree with Jim.
