Document: draft-turner-asymmetrickeyformat-05

Reviewer: Roni Even

Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard. I have
some nits

Nits/editorial comments:

1.	In section 7 what you are registering is a media subtype and not a
media type. The media type is application. So "defines a new media type"
should be "defines a new media subtype" and "Registration of media type"
should be "Registration of media subtype".

I'll add this in.

2.	The document defines new object identifiers like
id-ct-KP-aKeyPackage and AsymmetricKeyPackageModuleV1.  Where is the list of
these identifiers kept and how do you update this list in order to guarantee
the uniqueness of these identifiers.

I got the OIDs for the content types and asn.1 module out of two arcs. Both OIDs are unique. Technically, we'd never update an OID. Once it's registered it's registered. If we need a new OID, then we don't necessarily have to go back to the same arc - but I'm sure we could. The module OID I got from the SMIME Arc, which is administered by Russ Housley and it's been delegated from IANA to SMIME. The other I got out of a DoD arc. I should add the following the IANA considerations sections to make this clear:

This document makes use of object identifiers to identify a CMS content and the ASN.1 module found in Appendix A. The CMS content type OID is registered in a DoD arc. The ASN.1 module OID is registered in an arc delegated by IANA to the SMIME Working Group. No further action by IANA is necessary for this document or any anticipated updates.
