Subject: S/MIME version number and Attribute Certificates

All,

I retract my recommendation to assign a new value for use in the
son-of-RFC2630 SignedData and EnvelopedData version fields due to the
incompatibility of the 1997 and 2000 Attribute Certificate (AC) syntaxes.
If 1997 ACs have not been operationally used in SignedData and EnvelopedData
objects (which seems to be the case based on the lack of feedback from the
list), then a new version value is unnecessary.
