+OpenPGP's Radix-64 encoding is composed of two parts: a base64
encoding of the binary data and an optional checksum.

-The checksum with its leading equal sign MAY appear on the first line
after the base64 encoded data.
+If present, the checksum with its leading equal sign SHALL appear on
the next line after the base64 encoded data.

Adding "optional" and making the CRC a SHOULD create indeed clarifies
the intention of the RFC.  Thus I am in favor of this change.
