Since SMIME is in the payload, we should probably support it
indefinitely -- its just another payload (which unfortunately impacts the
Manifest).
But isn't this addressed by what Chris Ferris said in earlier mail:
The ebMS spec doesn't say anything about the payload intentionally.
The reference to S/MIME means that the payload, not the overall
"envelope" can be S/MIME encrypted.
As for the CPP/A, it's possible that (I don't know enough about S/MIME
yet) nothing new is needed; maybe you can express S/MIME encryption
just by putting in the appropriate Packaging/CompositeList/Encapsulation
element.
