How about changing the "Applications that use this media type" lines to
read as follows for each of the media types:
A.1 application/scvp-cv-request: SCVP clients sending certificate
validation requests
A.2 application/scvp-cv-response: SCVP servers responding to
certificate validation requests
A.3 application/scvp-vp-request: SCVP clients sending validation policy
requests
A.4 application/scvp-vp-response: SCVP servers responding to validation
policy requests
