Section 3 says token-part1 "contains at least 64 bit of entropy", but
Section 3.1 says token-part1 "MUST be at least 64 octet long after
decoding".  Is this difference deliberate?  Also 64 octets of entropy is a
_lot_.  RFC 8555 says "the token is required to contain at least 128 bits
of entropy".

The draft seems to be oriented entirely toward use with e-mail clients that
have a built-in ACME-S/MIME client.  I'm a bit disappointed that the draft
doesn't accommodate users with "naive" email clients very well, e.g. by
allowing customized subject lines.  I assume this is deliberate, perhaps
because of a desire to use short-TTL S/MIME certificates that would be
impractical to provision manually, but the draft doesn't mention a
rationale.
