but, as Ian pointed out, if the maximum number of columns is 
limited to the minimum number of columns in an armored message 
(i.e., 64 characters)
then any 'wrap' that accepts the message block, would have no 
problems
with the comment or version lines,

This problem basically exists in the "Comment" and "Version" 
header lines.  

so a helpful fix would be to suggest a 'SHOULD' 
that the comment and version lines not exceed 64 characters
