Reviewed by Brian Carpenter, Gen-ART.

His review, included here because I agree with him on the BCP issue:

If the Security area is happy, I would vote no-ob. This just seems
to be a senisble piece of clean-up.

This is a good illustration of why the 3 step standards process is
pointless, but IMHO this needs to be PS, logically.

Re: Question for IESG:  can a document like this  be BCP?

In the introduction the document says "This document therefore updates the normative requirements for S/MIME in RFC3261".  As an update to 3261 (a standards track document) shouldn't this itself be a standards track document, and not a BCP?

It might be worth adding a sentence noting that this text from 3261:

         S/MIME implementations MUST at a minimum support SHA1 as a
         digital signature algorithm

is wrong since SHA1 is a hash algorithm, not a signature algorithm.  In fact, that error is almost worth an RFC Erratum entry.
