The only suggestion that I have for the multipart stuff is that of
distributing key data. i.e. putting the key data in as an optional third

Rhys,
What's your feeling about using the MIME multipart mechanism to transmit
both a MIEM-PEM message and key data instead of extending the security
multipart? In symbolic terms, taking a bit of license with terminology,
the comparison between what exists and what you're proposing is something
like:
mp_mix(mp_sec(app_enc(M),app_keys(K)),app_keydata(KK)) vs
mp_sec(app_enc(M),app_keys(K),app_keydata(KK))
