Summary: Ready

Comments: a few editorial comments (i.e., to be handled by the RFC Editor if no new version of the document is published for another reason).

Note I don't comment about the cryptographic strength requirements even IMHO these should be handled by profiles according to specific environment context, the document specifying only the default (and minimum) profile (but the document doesn't make the adoption of this idea impossible or even hard, and if there was an agreement for following this kind of way this should have been done before).

Comment details:
 - Discussion page 2: if this should be removed prior to publication by  the RFC editor it is better to mention it.

 - TOC page 3: Appendix C (Acknowledgments) is missing, same for
  Authors' Addresses

 - 1.6 page 7: WithRSAEncrption -> WithRSAEncryption

 - 3.4.3.2 page 28: why SHA-2 algorithms are still not recommended?
  (IMHO the paragraph still waits to be removed :-)

 - 7.1 page 38: I note an I-D (CMS-SHA2) is in the normative references
  (not a problem, the publication of the document will just be defered
   until the I-D is published)
 
 - 7.1 pages 38 and 39: two FIPS publications (FIPS180-3 and 186-3) are
  marked as "draft". I don't know if this can be an issue...

 - Appendix A page 42: prefersBinaryInside -> preferBinaryInside

 - Appendix A page 43: receipentKeyId -> recipientKeyId

 - Appendix C page 44: Acknowledgements -> Acknowledgments

 - Author's Addresses page 44: Author's -> Authors'
