IMHO: We can't document features or bugs made by a company while we are
working on the draft. We can't document bugs as features. Several
implementation flaws of PGP 5.x must be cleared in this draft.

Exactly what flaws of PGP 5.x that manifest themselves as aspects of the
message format are you referring to?

Anything to do with CMR.  This issue is well documented elsewhere,
elsetime, so I won't repeat it here (let me know if I should summarise).

The main manifestation of this that I know of is the addition of a CMRK
subpacket in the signature packet.

Others may have other feature/bug/flaw sets in mind.
