Two more items

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

My apologies.  I missed these two items when I last proofread:

****************************

Sections 5.6 (Compressed Data Packet), 5.7 (Symmetrically Encrypted
Data Packet), 5.13 (Sym. Encrypted Integrity Protected Data Packet)
all indicate that they can contain more than one literal packet.  This
makes sense for encrypting multiple files together, and both PGP and
GnuPG correctly handle messages with multiple literal packets.

However, the grammar in section 10.2 defines a "Literal Message" as a
single literal packet:

  Literal Message :- Literal Data Packet.

I suggest a small change to make the grammar match the rest of the
document (and reality):

  Literal Message :- Literal Data Packet |
                     Literal Message, Literal Data Packet.

****************************

Section 10.2 (OpenPGP Messages) has a blank line in the middle of the
paragraph beginning "In addition, decrypting a Symmetrically Encrypted
Data Packet".
