Where is it specified that "application/pgp-encrypted" can also
directly contain the data? Please point me to the line in the
RFC.
You are right, it is not formally specified:
MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: pgp-encrypted
Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none
Encoding considerations:
Currently this media type always consists of a single 7bit text
string.
but I see no strong reason not to use it for amored data unless it
is enclosed by multipart/encrypted.
We could update rfc-3156 to formally define an OpenPGP container
or improve the defintion of this media type.
Yes we should do that. Again: We need a MIME type for _non_-armored
data, so if we would use "pgp-encrypted" we would definitely not
follow RFC3156.
I am also not convinced that it is a good idea to use "pgp-encrypted"
for anything other than the version, it would require a parser to
differentiate "pgp-encrypted" with version-only and "pgp-encrypted"
with data.
So I would propose (following Tim Bray): pgp-message as a new MIME
type for data-only.
