I don't think that the Open PGP standard should include alerts because
that would unable non internative implementations to fully comply with
the standard.  IMO much beter would be the support for automatic
padding, or maybe it is alredy in the standard but I dont ever
noticed, I have really not readed at detail the RFC4880.
