Section 6.7 says:
PGP keys for Ctrl-PGP-Key and Mod-PGP-Key are transmitted in the following structure: PGP-answer = "V" SP Version CRLF "U" SP User-ID CRLF "B" SP Bits CRLF "I" SP Key-ID CRLF "F" SP Finger CRLF *("L" SP Location CRLF) *("K-" Keyblock CRLF) "K" SP Keyblock CRLF Version = text User-ID = text Bits = text Key-ID = text Finger = text Location = text Keyblock = text
It should say:
PGP keys for Ctl-PGP-Key and Mod-PGP-Key are transmitted in the following structure: PGP-answer = [*("U" SP User-ID CRLF)] ["B" SP Bits CRLF] ["I" SP Key-ID CRLF] [*("L" SP Location CRLF)] ["F" SP Finger CRLF] "V" SP Version CRLF 1*("K-" Keyblock CRLF) "K" SP Keyblock CRLF Version = 1*text User-ID = 1*text Bits = 1*text Key-ID = 1*text Finger = 1*text Location = 1*text Keyblock = 1*text
Notes:
Several fixes :
1- Spelling of "Ctl-PGP-Key" at the first line.
2- Several UIDs are possible for a given key.
3- We need several characters (text is only a byte, so use 1*text).
4- Only Version and Keyblocks are mandatory.
5- Re-arrange the lines of PGP-answer to match the example in the same Section.
