Yes. I think that RFC2633bis out to say that compression MAY be applied
before encryption or signing. It should probably indicate that compression
should only be applied once for a particular message.

Hi Blake and Russ,
Since the IESG has approved the Internet-Draft "Compressed Data Content Type
for S/MIME" <draft-ietf-smime-compression-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard,
shouldn't it be referred as a MAY under the "S/MIME Version 3.1 Message
Specification" <draft-ietf-smime-rfc2633bis-00.txt>?
Please feel free to distribute your response to the S/MIME mailing list
since I am not currently a member, but only occasionally monitor its
content.
Regards,
Francois
