[Ballot discuss]
Section 2.1 says:

  When the media type application/pkcs10 is used, the body
  MUST be a CertificationRequest, encoded using the Basic Encoding
  Rules (BER) [X.690].

And then only a little bit later in the same section:

  A robust application SHOULD output DER, but allow BER or DER on
  input.

The guidance regarding the use of the encoding rules is in conflict
and needs to be clarified. I do not mind making a change to what the
previous RFCs have said on this, but the document needs to be clear
what the current recommendation is, and it needs to point out the
interoperability and backwards compatibility implications.

Technical Summary

This document allows the IANA registration to point to an active
document. The application/pkcs10 media type was originally part of
S/MIMEv2 [RFC2311], which was not the product of an IETF WG, along with
application/pkcs7-mime and application/pkcs7-signature. When the SMIME
WG produced S/MIMEv3 [RFC2633], it did not include the
application/pkcs10 text and unfortunately when PKCS#10 was published as
RFC 2986 the application/pkcs10 text was not incorporated there .
Recently, S/MIMEv3.2 was published and S/MIMEv2 was moved to historic.
This means that the IANA registration no longer points to an active
document. This document fills that role with text for
application/pkcs10 adapted from RFC 2311 and an IANA registration
request for application/pkcs10.

Working Group Summary

This document is not the product of an IETF Working Group.

Document Quality

The text for formation of the application/pkcs10 media type is adapted
from RFC 2311. Only minor changes were made, as can be seen in the
diffs between version -00 and -01.

Personnel

Russ Housley is the document Shepherd. Tim Polk is the
responsible Security Area AD.
