>I would like at this time to ask the chairs for a Last Call on both these
>specs.  The CMMF draft has been updated on the IETF site for several weeks
>now and the CMC draft has been available since Monday.  Both reflect
>planned corrections that were briefed in L.A.
>
>In particular CMC contains a couple of changes that may be of interest.
>Based on input received in L.A., it now requires implementation of CRMF,
>but maintains the PKCS10-based certificate request as an optional mechanism.
>
>Secondly, the prior draft defined a contentType was to identify PKI
>messages within the general framework of CMS enveloping.  Input recieved
>since L.A. indicated that this is overly restrictive.  Use of this OID was
>subsequently relaxed to provide interoperability with development
>environments that may not have capability to set contentTypes.  Its use is
>recommended, but not required.
