I can tell you that on message receipt, the commercial versions of PGP

That is, they are sensitive to the presence of trailing whitespace and
it is included in the hash. This is true regardless of whether the
signature type byte is text or binary mode. That may or may not be
compatible with the spec but that is how these versions work.
Then why did you guys refuse to change the OpenPGP specification when
the inconsistency was pointed out well before RFC 2440 was published?
