Or should I just drop extensions and Mac file types?

I would do so for the detached signature.  I don't think there is
enough time to check all the interoperability issues.

For the public key ring file, I would rather drop the requirement that
the content is 7bit ASCII-armored and mention that the extensions
.pkr, .pgp, .pkr and .asc are common.

Well, changing content-transfer-encoding requirements after WG last call (and in a way which breaks old software's expectations) doesn't look like the best idea since the invention of sliced bread to me.

But anyway, if NAI isn't interested in finding a reasonable solution for this stuff, I'll just leave it out.
