Gooday,

I would appreciate clarification on the following with respect to the
Receipt Request attribute:

1.	May a CounterSignature contain a receipt request?

2.	If so, MUST all receipt requests in a SignedData be identical?  The
spec specifies that all Receipt Requests be identical.  Is it the intent
that CounterSignatures containing a receipt request MUST also be identical
with other receipt requests if it exists?  I don't see why each
countersignature can not have a different receipt request.


thanx,tom.
