Additionally, the phrase "A compliant application MUST only use

I would need to hear from more people about this change to see if
there is consensus for this.

speaking with no roles others than an individual:

This part was proposed in February on a different thread. I am moving
your comment there and replying in that one:

I've merged in this change in a seperate commit, please review as part
of the next draft update. (commit 464ac8232f9)


I think the commit you're talking about is now public as
1edfd5d45a49a5a15d08eff9fff7d5c482acb6da, 'update text on "Simple S2K
and Salted S2K specifiers" as per WG discussion'.

minor clarification: among a few other changes, it adds this line:

+Implementations SHOULD NOT use these methods on encryption of both keys and 
messages.


I think this "both" should be "either" -- otherwise, the guidance sounds
like it applies only to some combination encryption (which isn't
possible iirc).  otherwise, it looks good to me.
