But I think we need to hear from the PGP Inc and GPG
architects on this?

I recall that we tweaked gpg's behaviour in this regard until all
users were satisfied.  Thus I'd say not to add new requirement to the
specs.

I agree.  I think the spec is just fine in this regard: the final CRLF
(the one before the "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----") is not part of
the signature.  That allows for the GPG behavior to preserve the
presence or lack of line ending on the last line.
