Subpacket clarification

Hash: SHA1

In section 5.2.4.1. Subpacket Hints:

   An implementation SHOULD put the two mandatory subpackets, creation
   time and issuer, as the first subpackets in the subpacket list,
   simply to make it easier for the implementer to find them.

Both PGP and GnuPG put the creation time in the hashed area, and the
issuer in the unhashed area, and the most recent draft was revised to
match this reality.  Given that, perhaps it would be good to modify
the phrase slightly with "... as the first subpackets in their
respective subpacket lists..."
