RE: I-D Action:draft-ietf-pkix-attr-cert-mime-type-00.txt




Thanks for the review.

How about: This document specifies a MIME content type used to carry a single attribute certificate as defined in RFC 3281.

RFC 3281 tells what parts must be DER encoded and which parts are allowed to be BER encoded.

I'll fix the typo.

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".
