To everyone: Please re-read draft-ietf-openpgp-mime-02.txt and
draft-ietf-openpgp-multsig-01.txt.
Suggestions for typographical corrections are prefixed with [T],
changes in wording with [W], changes to the specification with [S].
Generall:
[T] Use symbolic bibliographic references instead of bare numbers.
(Makes reading easier.)
Section 1:
[T] Replace 'RFC 1847' with 'RFC 1847'. (Consistency)
Section 2:
[T] Replace 'multipart ASCII armor OpenPGP format' with
'multi-part ASCII armor OpenPGP format' (cf. OpenPGP)
[S] Make MIME multipart mechanism in favor of OpenPGP multi-part messages
REQUIRED. (It is hard to imagine how OpenPGP multi-part messages can
interoperate with other implementations.)
Section 5:
[S] Include wildcard value for "micalg" parameter. (Makes generating
OpenPGP/MIME messages much easier in some situations, but breaks
one-pass processing, of course. Today, the majority of
OpenPGP/MIME installations/implementations doesn't deal correctly
with this parameter anyway.)
Still Section 5, enumeration (2):
[T] Spell 'recommended' in capital letters.
[W] Replace 'mail transfer agents' with 'mail delivery agents' (or
both). In general, only MDAs touch messages in this way, not MTAs.
Still Section 5, example message:
[W] The signature on the example message doesn't seem to be valid (?).
BITNET is dead.
Section 6.1:
[W] The signature on the example message is invalid.
Section 7:
[S] Neither OpenPGP nor OpenPGP/MIME specify the transfer format of
public key blocks, so this section doesn't make much sense.
Section 10:
[T] Replace 'OP' with 'OpenPGP'.
