Technical Summary
 
 This protocol allows more than one object to be protected in one CMS object. 
While not an issue for email, where MIME and provide the necessary structure,
other uses of CMS do not provide the same sort of facility.  This fills that
void.
 
Protocol Quality
 
 Steve Bellovin reviewed the document for the IESG.
