Maybe I'm reading it wrong. Where is the MIME type in my specification?
* In your draft, you say:
The companion signature file has exactly the same file name as the
Internet-Draft, except that ".sig" is added to the end.
* If I understand it right, the content of this ".sig" file is a CMS
SignedData object with no content (a detached signature)
* In the S/MIME Message specification, the file extension that is used for a
CMS SignedData object with no content (a detached signature) is .p7s
* My observation, based on Simon's observation, is that the .p7s file
extension might be more in line with current practice
Now, I'm not sure that the universe would end if this convention wasn't
followed.
