Usages of the id-data content type

2006-11-13 22:05:57

At the meeting last week I presented an issue about the use of the id-data
content type that was raised in a review of the CMC documents.

Id-data is currently defined as being for unstructured data, but the S/MIME
working group treats it as being only for mime based data.  This can lead to
some intesting issues in trying to parse messages and deciding what to do
with this content for automatic processors.

Please respond to the following question:

Do you believe that the S/MIME group should define a new OID for a
unstructured content type and reserve id-data for mime data?
