Another thing it does is add a new "User ID Attribute" type to the User
Attributes list so that you could use a single signature to certify both
an "ID" and an image together.

Is the intention that a user ID attribute shall in general be handled
the same way as a user id packet?  This would raise the question whether
a certification is based on only or all the user id, the image, or any
future sub packets.  Given that you assume certain constrains on an
implementation, the intended use would require only a self-signature.
Can you clarify that in the draft?

  4.4.  The 'vers' Notation

   This notation defines the product version number (which could be a
   release number, year, or some other identifier to differentiate
   different versions of the same make/model).  It is a free form
   string.

I would suggest to use a different name.  "vers" might be confused with
the protocol or key version, what about "mver", "pver, or "pvers"?
