Bill, the only difference between a V4 sig and a V5 sig is changing the

very argument).
Well, you have to identify the signature type, too. However the
changes sound minimal.
How many implementors are interested in supporting this? What bad
thing happens when an implementation meets a v5 packet it doesn't
know how to swallow? Will implementations be able to skip over them?
