The CMP message format can be very appropriately used  for non-cert-related 
PKI services, such as TimeStamping, AttributeCertificates, DCS etc


Q1. Are there any reasons (technical, patent-related, religious,...) why 
the CMP message structure can not or should not be used for non-CMP PKI 
services?
Q2. If the CMP format can be legitimately used for non-certificate 
management protocol operations, then what would be the IDs for the new 
PKIBody content? Has anybody sorted out or reserved the IDs above [23]?
Q3. What would be the name to use, when it is not a Cert Mgm Prot-related 
message any longer?. "Generic PKI Message Format" (GPMF)?
