  *   “Raw” is not a bad option.   Semantically, the difference to “cleartext” seems very small.   Length isn’t a huge-issue either, being a programmatic API.  Maybe one is preferred from a historical-use perspective?  (Rich, maybe you can comment here?)

I think informed folks won’t care about raw/cleartext.  But I think newer folks will appreciate “cleartext” better.  FWIW, to me a “raw” key is one that stands alone, as opposed to a public key embedded in an X509 certificate.

HTH.
