As far as precepts go, I believe there are only three changes from those
specified in 1421, which I will state here. If you believe there are
others, please ask about them. Of course, please feel free to ask about
further clarification on the issues included here.
...
1. The separation of signature and encryption services.
...
2. Allowing alternate name forms from the original distinguished names.
...
3. Allowing alternative trust models.
The new precept that MIME/PEM has adopted which you haven't mentioned is:
4. Allowing public keys to remain unpublished.
Let me pointedly ask now: Are you maintaining as a design goal of
MIME/PEM the option for users to prevent their public keys from being
transmitted or widely published?
