Maybe all of these unofficial reference implementations need a strict-checking
mode for when they're being (incorrectly) used as reference
implementations

 gpg --compliance=openpgp ....

is intended to do just that.  However there is a wide range of case
where things are not specified.  For example the decryption with a key
having from the usage flags.   Actually I expected to see a warning
there but that is unfortunately not the case and currently master even
rejects to decrypt with bad usage flags [1].
