Doug,

Is the proposal that, similar to how TLS defines that domain names MUST
appear within the SAN:dNSName, that emailAddresses MUST appear within one
of those three fields (that is: subject:commonName, subject:emailAddress,
subjectAltName:rfc822Name), that any value in the subject MUST also appear
in the subjectAltName, and an emailAddress MUST NOT appear in any other
field?

That would address the concern, correct?

I'm not sure I understand your question on this issue, and was hoping you
could expand. As you note, it's not used within S/MIME, so presumably, it's
not necessary for an S/MIME certificate, and thus MUST NOT be included.
That would resolve the ambiguity, correct?

Are you aware of any system that requires a single certificate contain both
in order to be used for S/MIME? If I understood your question right, it's
not required.
