      This sounds good to me.  This could leverage off the MIM-PEM analysis   
              already being done.  Other opinions?

Not quite another opinion, but I just think that the MIME-PEM document
should be changed in two ways:

- as Kazuhiko noticed, encryption also requires conversion to
  canonical form
- get rid of the useless "protocol" parameter, or explain to me what good
  that parameter will do you, for example, in this case:

        Content-type: multipart/signed; protocol=multipart/sig-alternative; 
                                        micalg="rsa-md5";
                                        boundary=signed

        --signed
        content-type: plain/text

        salut !
        --signed
        content-type: multipart/sig-alternative; someparams...;
                                        boundary=sigalt

        --sigalt
        content-type: application/pem-signature

        a sig
        --sigalt
        content-type: application/pem-signature

        another sig
        --sigalt--
        --signed--

Any objection ?
