I agree with the opinion that it would be much nicer to split the RFC3335 
MIME-style of message wrapping from the GISB-style since they are 
fundamentally different ways of signing and packaging the exchange. 
Having 2 documents would be easier for developers to analyze and 
reference. It's common for standards (for example MIME) to be split 
across multiple RFCs. I agree that it would be useful to maintain 
consistency in common areas, and could be done in a split specification.

It is still reasonable to implement a product that could utilize either 
specification.
