I noticed in section 5.1 that (third last paragraph):

"This value is then padded as described in PKCS-1 block type 02 [RFC2437] 
to form the "m" value used in the formulas above."

The OpenPGP RFC refers to RFC 2313. In a later draft, Jon Callas changed
the reference to RFC 2437, but failed to update the contents.

In terms of RFC 2437, OpenPGP uses EME-PKCS1-v1_5 and EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5.
