So why not work towards the use of RFC 3156 signatures instead? Especially
if your goal is to make this stuff more user-friendly.

I support this -- 3156, for all its warts, alleged or true, is implemented
in a few MUAs and works. FSVO works, but nothing else comes even close
today.

Mutt, my MUA, had a hell of grokking the first post; because the data
between the PGP markers was quite far from parseable as cryptotext. It
does that dreaded scanning, compared to which 3156 is elegant.
