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

I find the document to be a bit short on normative references and some
implementation details. Other than that the document looks fine. My
specific questions and concern are as follows:

1) Please add a normative reference for HTTP, URI and RelaxNG on first
use.

2) Base64 needs a normative reference (including the section number, as
there are 2 variants).

3) Section 2 says that all payloads use CMS. None of your examples show
CMS. Can you please elaborate on how CMS is used.

4) How can URI of the service be discovered?

In 2.5: is the list of error reasons extensible?

Was Relax NG schema validated with a tool?

In Section 5 you should reference the document, as IANA registrations cut
& pasted to IANA website as separate files.
