DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a simple issue with the IANA Considerations section which should
be easy to address:

The IANA section seem to be suggesting that IANA should do full search of
its registries to update all references to RFC 4447 to point to
rfc4447bis. I don't think it is easy for IANA to do that.

This document is obsoleting RFC 4447, which means that there is no need
to ever read RFC 4447 in order to implement this document. For that
reason, you should copy and paste content of the original RFC 4447's IANA
Considerations into this document. After that, add a sentence saying that
the only change is updating references to point to this document.
