Section 3.2.2 says:
Name CMS Type Inner Content enveloped-data EnvelopedData id-data signed-data SignedData id-data certs-only SignedData none compressed-data CompressedData id-data
It should say:
Name CMS Type Inner Content enveloped-data EnvelopedData id-data signed-data SignedData id-data certs-only SignedData id-data compressed-data CompressedData id-data
Notes:
The inner content type is not an optional field. Some inner content type MUST be included, id-data is the correct inner content type to be specified.
The balance of the required information is in section 3.7. It is possible that the fact that id-data is used as the encapsulated content type should be added to the section Step 1 in 3.7
