I realise they're deprecated, but I still need to know the format. Where

The problem being, of course, that things exist out there that use them.


I don't think it should be in the RFC.  The new RFC does not permit
Elgamal signatures, so putting it in there serves little purpose.
2440 will continue to exist once the new RFC is out, so anyone looking
for 2440-specific formats can look there.

They aren't in 2440 either. Or I missed something.
