Sure, although your draft states:

 	This document specifies the message formats used in OpenPGP.

and:

 	This document is maintained in order to publish all necessary
 	information needed to develop interoperable applications based on the
 	OpenPGP format.

However, it is not "OpenPGP", but "GnuPG". The term OpenPGP is an IETF
protocol term. Could you clarify that in a document update to avoid
confusion with real OpenPGP specifications of 4880 and the new to-be
RFC specification?
