This section just describes where "prior practice of S/MIME" is located.
I think that RFC 3369 is "current practice of S/MIME".

Okay.

Deleted.

Thanks.

Hmm. I don't agree. This is meant to describe the subset of types that
are supported by S/MIME, independent of their encoding.

Okay.  I accept that ContentInfo is not a content type.

Has this train finished wrecking or is it still in progress?

I think we know where all the pieces landed.

Fixed.

Thanks.

S/MIME v3.1 implementations MUST support both issuerAndSerialNumber as
well as subjectKeyIdentifier. Messages that use the
subjectKeyIdentifier choice cannot be read by S/MIME v2 clients.

Works for me.

Fixed.

Thanks.
