This needs to happen.

What sorts of changes do you see being needed here?

Right.

Yes.

So, some of these things have been proposed as, like, extension RFCs or 
whatever instead of a supercession to main OpenPGP.  But I guess that work 
is usually done under this WG as well.  Do you see moving more in that 
direction, or a full-on new RFC coming out of proposed work?
