Jim:
You are correct that this approach might delay the x400wrap document. The
alternative is to replicate the same information in both documents.

Russ,
I think that referencing son-of-MSG would be best, since the protection
is really targeted at the same kind of functional use... e-mail. It's
just a different e-mail.
I'll take a look at Blake's draft and see whether I can propose some
text.

Correct. At the face-to-face meeting in London last week, there was
strong
consensus that the CMS not specify any mandatory to implement
algorithms. I just sent of the revised I-Ds to implement this
decision. As a result, all protocols that employ the CMS MUST specify
their mandatory to implement algorithms. However, in this case,
x400wrap
may want to reference the son-of-rfc 2632 and son-of-rfc 2633 documents
to
ensure comparability.
