Comments:
s3:  The first part of the specification for MultipleSignatures is :

   The fields in MultipleSignatures have the following meaning:

     - bodyHashAlg includes the digest algorithmIdentifier for the
     referenced multiple-signatures attribute.

     - signAlg includes the signature algorithmIdentifier for the
     referenced multiple-signatures attribute.

I am confused by the use of 'includes' here: Do these specs 
imply that the values of these fields are comma separated 
lists of all relevant alg identifiers for the signatures?  An 
example with three signatures might clarify what is going on, 
but the spec should be clarified in any case, I think (but I 
may just not be sufficiently knowledgable about this sort of spec).

The attribute is multivalued (discussed before the ASN.1) so there is a set
of values for each signature applied. The reason for only using two in the
example was purely based on page real estate.

Abstract: Expand CMS acronym.

s5: s/in a singled/in a single/

fixed

s5.2: s/the rquire application/the required application/

fixed

s5.3, para 5: The first sentence

If signatures are added for the support of [ESS] features, then the
   fact that an outer layer signature can be treated as a non-
   significant failure.

does not parse.  Probably missing 'is invalid' or some such 
relating to outer layer signature.

Appendix B: 'hashes CMS'??? Does not parse!

B.2 2: Expand DER acronym.
