I want to highlight the comments I made on this issue.  The change has been 
made in the version published today (-15).

1.  The way we have avoided the appearance of 2119 language is by not making 
this all upper case.   While it is my believe that this will be sufficient to 
make Pete happy, it is very possible that I am wrong.

2.  The use of + and - as indicators was done due to the restrictions that were 
placed on the S/MIME document by the use of 2119 language.  I am not totally 
happy that this is how we are indicating the same thing but would not stand in 
the way of doing this.  I think that it is not immediately obvious what this 
means and is therefore prone to misinterpretation.

I would like the working group to comment in the next couple of days on this 
approach and make sure that it meets with working group approval.  In thinking 
about it after my meeting with Mike last week, I think that I would prefer to 
address bullet two with language along the lines of

Suggested, expect to become mandatory

I believe that having the additional text rather than just using "suggested+" 
makes it clearer especially if we are looking at things like RSA w/SHA1 where 
it would say

Mandatory, except to become deprecated.
