So far, I've looked more closely at one RFC (2440, i.e. OpenPGP) and a
draft (USEFOR), and in the case of USEFOR, there are a few minor
problems, and an extremly severe, even dangerous one (it has to do
with the use of Unicode in identifiers). I'm still investigating the
situation (see my other message).
OpenPGP uses a concept of line endings which is only adequate for
ASCII text, and Unicode in identifiers as well (with only slight
interoperability issues such as database queries). Usually, OpenPGP
identifiers (i.e. user IDs) are not processed mechanically, so these
is not a grave issue.
