Para 3.1, 2nd para 1st sentence: Replace "The MIME entity that is
secured and ..." with "The MIME entity that is secured or compressed and
..."
[bcr] Nope. We're going with "secured" here until someone comes up with
a concise word that means "signed or encrypted or compressed".
[spt] How about having "signed or encrypted or compressed (s/e/c)" in
the 1st instance and then repeating "s/e/c" after that?
Para 3.1, 4th para 1st sentence: Replace "A single procedure is used for
creating MIME entities that are to be signed, enveloped, or both signed
and enveloped" with "A single procedure is used for creating MIME
entities that are to be signed, enveloped, compressed and both signed
and enveloped, signed and compressed, compressed and enveloped, and
compressed, signed, and enveloped, etc." (or whatever # of combinations
you feel like listing)
[bcr] A single procedure is used for creating MIME entities that are to
have any combination of signing, enveloping and compressing applied.
[spt] Did you change it to say that?
Para 3.1, 4th para 3rd sentence: Replace "It is recommended that these
additional steps be performed on enveloped messages, or signed and
enveloped messages" with "It is recommended that these additional steps
be performed on enveloped and compressed messages, or signed and
enveloped messages or compressed, signed and enveloped messages."
[bcr] I'm not even sure what the spirit of this guidance is. No change
-- either suggest less awkward language or help me figure out what the
spirit of this is.
[spt] I was just trying to be complete and list all the times the steps
should be taken. Comment was in line with the above three.
Para 3.1, 1st para after Step 3: Replace "the security services on the
message are processed" with "the security services or compression on the
message are processed"
[bcr] See previous discussion about "secured"
[spt] As long as we do it the same way.
