Yep, I remember that post but it's long ago.
In PGP, trailing whitespace is removed as part of the clearsig
encoding (which is the only situation where trailing whitespace can
get lost in the transport). It is not part of the signing operation
and should not have been mentioned in the section quoted above.
Okay, so I implement it like PGP and make a remark that GnuPG does not
follow the RFC :-)
