Reviewer: Stefan Winter
Review result: Has Nits

Nits: 

* 2.1 starts with "...  based on a one-way hash function described in
ANS X9.63 [X963]." s/ANS/ANSI/

* Chapter 7 defines six OIDs (secg-scheme 11 1...3 and smime-alg
TBD1...3) and also includes the base OIDs under which these new OIDs
are attached (secg-scheme and smime-alg). Those two are not defined in
this document, but the text in chapter 7 suggests so.
Maybe it would be a bit clearer if the text stated explicitly which of
the OIDs in the chapter are NEW, and which ones already exist and are
provided for reference/context.
