it is my understanding that the style guide says that there should be no
references in the abstract – so “This document updates [RFC3370] and ...” is
not permitted – I would suggest that it should read “This document updates
“Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Algorithms” (RFC 3370) and ...”.

Then change the second sentence in the introduction to read: “Cryptographic
Message Syntax (CMS) Algorithms  [RFC3370] describes the use of common
cryptographic algorithms with the CMS. This specification updates [RFC3370] to
describe the use of the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 specified in [SHA3] as new hash
functions in CMS.”

Otherwise the specification does not present any operational issues and looks
ready for publication
