I didn't see any note about the fact that having 2 signature algorithms creates noninteroperability, which in turn is not good for security in deployment.
But that may be "too obvious to mention".

[Ballot comment]
I found the use of attribute names like 'signature' in this document somewhat confusing because they are unquoted. For example, in Section 3, the following paragraph (in its entirety) appears:

  signature contains the single value resulting from the signing
  operation.

I assumed this was a typo of the trailing fragment of a sentence, until I understood that this was referring to a 'signature' attribute in CMS SignedData, and hence it was uncapitalized. I'd like to suggest that such terms be quoted in the document.

There's also several places (3 in Section 4)where line wrap or some other editorial process has put line feeds in the middle of paragraphs.

Nit:
--->The generation of RSA private key relies on random numbers

Shouldn't this be "an RSA private key" or "RSA private keys"?
