Acceptance of this new proposal only requires overcoming political
inertia. Not just from PEM, but from the MIME people too. But all
of these are still infant standards, I think. I don't recall if MIME
is a true standard yet, but as I recall it refers to RFC1113 for its
radix 64 format, so maybe we can kill both birds with one stone.
MIME is currently a proposed standard. Also, although it adopted the
"table" as specified in RFC1113, its actual encoding procedures are
similar to those in the current PEM internet drafts.
