error in draft 07, section 5.2.1

1998-09-15 15:37:13
|   0x01: Signature of a canonical text document.
|       Typically, this means the signer owns it, created it, or
|       certifies that it has not been modified.  The signature is
|       calculated over the text data with its line endings converted to
|       <CR><LF> and trailing blanks removed.

Trailing blanks are removed _only_ for cleartext signatures, in the
transformation described in section 7.1. Otherwise (for signatures
contained in a PGP message, and for detached signatures) they are part
of the signature.

BTW, there's no proper definition of detached signatures in the draft.
They probably should be mentioned in section 10 because they are used
for PGP/MIME.
