In Section 3 (2nd paragraph), I'm a little confused by the text that says receiving implementations MUST "recognize and accept" certificates that contain no email address. What asssurance are such certificates providing in the mail context? How are they processed? Given the importance placed on matching the subjectAltName with the From header field of an email in later paragraphs, I found the lack of procedures for this case a little odd.

"BER" and "DER" are included in the list of definitions in section 1.1, but they're not used anywhere in the document that I could find.  They should probably be removed.
