Re: MIME-PEM questions

1) What is the reason to encapsulate clear-text PEM body parts in an
 entity of type message/pem-clear, instead of including the body part
 unencapsulated (e.g. as text/plain, but potentially any MIME type)?
 The latter would provide better interoperation with MIME-capable UAs
 that are not PEM-capable (MIME does not mandate any particular
 treatment for unrecognized subtypes of message).

I have not read the I-D closely yet but on a first impression, I have
the same question.
