Ah, right.  Jon Callas' remarks about the MDC from back in January might
be relevant:

  http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2009-May/024967.html

I think his point stands that the MDC only cares about the one-wayness
of the digest used in MDC -- there is no reliance on a
collision-resistance property.  So i'm not sure that this needs to
change in a new draft, particularly if it could make the discussion more
contentious.

What do other folks think?
