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.
However, it doesn't. This strikes me as a bug both in GPG and in the spec.
Can you give an example of why you feel this is a bug?
Because information about the final character is lost.
