Subject: RFC 4880: Is there a good reason to define a specific format for
 storing cryptographic data ?
Message-ID: <CAOgFYPJRchkCHP8RcnNOZ9OrWve1onRJqBYRegYrOE3OrAF1Uw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,


I've just finished the implementation of RFC 4880 in Python (at least part
of it).


And I am asking the question :


*why is PGP not using a standard format to encode data ?*


I mean : we could very well use XML, JSON or YAML to represent a PGP
document.


Is there a good reason to define a specific format for storing
cryptographic data ?


Regards,


Denis
