I submitted this and just remembered because it’s about to expire:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bray-pgp-message-00

This was motivated by work on an OpenPGP, an Android app, which deals in
PGP messages as chunks of text and uses the built-in Android “share” option
to route them around.  No MIME, no multipart.

It would be nice to be able to specify that the chunk-of-text is a PGP
message to facilitate dispatching to the right software.
