Comment on draft-ietf-pkix-attr-cert-mime-type-00.txt
There isn't a clear statement of what the content is when the MIME
type is application/pkix-attr-cert.
I assume it is a single DER-encoded attribute certificate -- not a
chain of ACs, not PEM-encoded, not in a package that can also hold
associated public-key certs or CRLs. A sentence stating this would help.
Typo: the opening words of the Introduction are "RFC 2528", but
should be "RFC 2585".
