Summary:

The document is straightforward, concise, and well written.

Major issues:

none

Minor issues:

none

Nits/editorial comments:

# Sections 6.1 and 6.2

> The Content-Type header MUST have the appropriate value from Table 2.

Unsure whether the “SMIME Type” parameter is used or if it’s inferred from the
request/response context. I’d say the former, but maybe better avoid any
potential ambiguity.

# Section 7

> The title of this IP Protocol number is "pkix-cmc”.

‘title of this IP Protocol number’ sounds odd.  Perhaps: ‘The Service Name is
“pkix-cmc”.’ as per the associated IANA ports entry [1].

# Section 10.1 and 10.2

* Why is IPsec normative?
* Why is BCP195 normative but TLS is only informative?
