I agree with Jim Schaad that the S/MIME specs should reference
the ASN.1 modules in the PKIX documents instead of the ITU-T
documents. The PKIX documents are freely available to all, but the
ITU-T documents are not.
This is not true; all ITU-T ASN.1 documents are available at:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com10/languages/index.html
Further, the ASN.1 in PKIX docs is not correct (use of UNIVERSAL
tags), which complicates matters for those using standards-compliant
compilers.
