   A. Use key notations "suite-b-key(_at_)pgp(_dot_)com"
      with values "top secret" and "secret".
===================================================================

Fine with me, but I see no need to mention it in the standard.

===================================================================
   B. Use feature bits of a key 0x02, 0x4 of
      "5.2.3.24. Features" as follows:
      0x02: The default symmetric alg. of the key is AES-128
      0x04: The default symmetric alg. of the key is AES-256
      These bits can be combined (i.e. they are not mutually
      exclusive).
===================================================================

Too complicated.

===================================================================
   C. Higher layers of application will govern compliance
      with Suite B. "ECC in OpenPGP" document will define
      reasonable superset of features required for Suite-B
      or similar government documents, but exact
      specification of the policies to use ECC in OpenPGP
      is out of scope.
===================================================================

Okay.
