comments on the format 06 draft

Hi,

Here are comments on the format 06 draft.

(1) Sec 3.4

As I pointed out in the IETF meeting, this section would mislead
readers. Please clarify that UTF-8 is used for fields of PGP packets,
not for message itself. 

(2) Sec 6.2

It is nice if the following note is included:

        Note: PGP 2.x uses "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" for detached 
        signatures.

This may be included in Sec 14.

This change must be clarified in the next draft of PGP/MIME since
PGP/MIME relies on detached signatures.

(3) Sec 6.2

Again, usage of UTF-8 should be clarified for "Charset".

(4) Sec 7

In the last item, "the ASCII armored signature" is a little bit
ambiguous. For readability, "BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE" should be explicitly
referred.
