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?

Definitely not.  id-data is currently used for PDFs, Word docs, XML, EDI, and
who knows how many other content-types.  If the S/MIME WG feels the need for a
specific type for MIME data, they should go the other way round and define an
id-mime.  The horse bolted on id-data long ago.
