draft 15 says:

"    The format of an Armor Header is that of a key-value pair.  A colon
    (':' 0x38) and a single space (0x20) separate the key and value.
    OpenPGP should consider improperly formatted Armor Headers to be
    corruption of the ASCII Armor. "

However, I see improperly formatted headers because of word wrapping.
There doesn't appear to be a way to wrap a long line, so I must reject
these as badly formatted (not that other implementations do, it seems).

This seems less than optimal.

Cheers,

Ben.
