As do I, but it seems to me that it is already mandated.  Section 6.2
(Forming ASCII Armor) mandates the line.  Section 7 (Cleartext
signature framework) refers to "The ASCII armored signature(s)".
Doesn't it them follow that the armored signature (like all armor)
mandates the line?  Am I reading into something that isn't there?
