As a data point, newer PGPs can read signatures made by GPG, and GPG
can read any signature made by PGP. However, many people do not have
PGP in their operating systems. There is the OpenPGP standard which both
newer PGPs and GPG conform to --- while Sean seems to have a problem
referring to standards instead of to implementations (<0.9 wink>), he
should learn to cope with it. It is RFC 2440, and I suggest simply
putting a refernce to the RFC in the PEP

RFC 2388

(Someone should really patch up pep2html.py to make RFC mentions hyperlinks)
