The term "packet" is a well known and well defined in the PGP comunity. I
see no reason for changing this now. I see little chance of a PGP "packet"
and a network "packet" being confused for one or another as we are
describing document formats here not network protocols.
My feelings exactly. We've been talking about PGP "packets" since PGP 1.0
6+ years ago. The meaning and context are clear.
