Regarding the fixed encoding of a (sub)packet length I suggest the
following approach (AFAIK it's used by most OpenPGP implementations):
if (len < 192)
{
// one-octet length format
}
else if (len < 8384)
{
// two-octet length format
}
else
{
// four-octet length format with 0xFF prefix
}
This looks reasonable to me, and i agree that it should be part of any
proposed draft aimed at minimizing divergence in generated output across
OpenPGP implementations.
