Oops, I hit the send key too soon.  

Basically, I agree USEFOR should not attempt to overrule RFC 2015. 

Just removing this section should do the trick:

   Exceptionally, those application types defined in [RFC 1847] and
   [RFC 2015] for use within "multipart/signed" articles, and the
   type "application/pgp-keys" (or other similar types containing
   digital certificates) may be used freely but, contrary to [RFC
   2015] and unless the article is intended to be sent by mail also,
   the Content-Transfer-Encoding SHOULD be left as "8bit" (or "7bit"
   as appropriate).
