I'll submit a version with the following IANA considerations section
at 1900 GMT, today. Please raise any objections NOW.
Changes:
- asc and sig are given as extensions for application/pgp-signature
- no Macintosh file type is given for application/pgp-keys
This version is based on a conversation with Werner Koch. I have
received no further feed-back from NAI.
