- 'Certified Electronic Mail '
   <draft-gennai-smime-cnipa-pec-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This documents appears to utilize several e-mail header fields:

X-Ricevuta
X-Riferimento-Message-ID
X-VerificaSicurezza
X-Trasporto

Is that a good idea?

The header field names are translated in Appendix A ("X-Notification",
"X-Reference-Message-ID", etc) but it is not clear if they are required
to be equivalent or not.

Also the minimum requirements are:

   o support for "ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)" character set; 

Isn't UTF-8 be a better choice, if we want this to be an Internet
standard?

According to the abstract, the document is a report describing "the
system as it is at the moment of writing".  I wonder generally if maybe
Informational or Experimental wouldn't be better categories for the
document?
