I am interested in moving the specs up to the later ASN.1 version.

Greetings again. Jim Schaad and I have created a draft that
contains revised ASN.1 modules for some of the standards-track
RFCs for S/MIME. These modules conform to ASN.1 2002. We want
to see if people are interested in bringing the S/MIME specs
up to the new ASN.1 now that there is an open source, freeware
ASN.1 compiler for ASN.1 2002, a2c (see
<http://code.google.com/p/a2c/>).
This is definitely a first draft. There is a list of issues
that we want to address, and we expect more issues to come up
in the WG.
Please review the draft and let us know what you think. FWIW,
there is a parallel draft for PKIX.
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : New ASN.1 Modules for CMS and S/MIME
Author(s) : P. Hoffman, J. Schaad
Filename : draft-hoffman-cms-new-asn1-00.txt
Pages : 32
Date : 2007-11-08
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) format, and many associated
formats, are expressed using ASN.1. The current ASN.1
modules conform
to the 1988 version of ASN.1. This document updates those
ASN.1 modules to conform to the 2002 version of ASN.1. There are no
bits-on-the-wire changes to any of the formats; this is
simply a change
to the syntax.
