2440bis specifies the IETF space as anything without a '@' sign
in it, so "COMMENT" would be a perfectly valid notation tag.

Lastly, does anyone happen to know whether/how PGP8 supports
notations?
Silently ignores them, though it does properly fail signature
verification if the notation is marked critical. That is RFC
compliant behavior.

literally 'anything' is acceptable in the space, but with a minor
difference,
between gnupg and pgp as to the form of acceptablilty:
gnupg requires a ':', or it interprets it as an 'improper header',
but does not require any specific position for the ':', as long as it is
anywhere on the same line.
{in this message, the ':' after the word 'version' has been omitted,
but the signature verifies ok, because there is a ':' in the emoticon of
the
version line.}
this message has a collection of the common notations, as well as an
'anything' notation.
for purposes of uniformity and avoidance of confusion,
can gnupg allow the absence of the ':' ?
with Respect,
