[rfced] In places where "RSA-KEM" appears on its own (6 instances), should the 
term be updated to "the RSE-KEM algorithm" for consistency? Or should these 
instances be left as is?

Example (Section 2.3):
The fact that the recipient will accept RSA-KEM                 
with this public key is not indicated by the use of this object identifier.

Also note that we will await further guidance re: the use of "PKCS #1 v1.5" vs. 
"PKCS #1 v1.5 algorithm".
