Section 3.1 has lots of factually incorrect rationals for
encoding using base32.  The DNS is capable of encoding
binary data in labels up to 63 octets.  I've got no problem
with encoding, but if one intends to include rationalisations
please make them factually correct.

There is no mention of how to encode LHS which exceed 63 octets
when encoded using base32.  Pack the left most labels or the
right most labels?

There is no mention of how to normalise LHS prior to base32 encoding.
Are "Hugh" and "hugh" the same?  Should "hugh" and "hugh+xxx" be
treated the same?  It should be possible to specify normalisation
rules and store them at _openpgpkey.  Is the input UTF-8 or some
other character set.  If UTF-8 what normalisations need to be
applied?

It might be useful to suppress the padding at the end of base32
encoded strings.  We already do similar suppression with NSEC3
records.
