In text-mode signatures, PGP will auto-canonicalize line-endings,
including removing any trailing white-space, whereas with binary the
canonicalization is not done and trailing white-space is included in
the signature.

Can someone remind me what the difference between text mode and binary mode
signatures is? We're always going to need to muck with the line endings, no
way around that. But I don't see how that precludes one-pass processing if
your client is smart enough to canonicalize each line of text and pass it in
a pipe (or stream) to the OpenPGP engine.
