a) update the fingerprint format (avoid inclusion of creation date, use stronger digest algorithm; i'm dubious about embedding algorithm agility in the fingerprint itself, but explicit version info in the fingerprint might be reasonable so we don't have to keep guessing by fpr structure for future versions) b) get rid of keyids entirely -- when referring to a key, use the fingerprint where a compact hint is needed (e.g. in a replacement of the issuer subpacket) or the full primary key where it is more sensitive (e.g. in designated revoker). With EC keys, we could consider using the full key (not the full cert) even in the issuer subpacket case, which could make things cleaner. c) deprecate MD5, SHA1, and RIPEMD160 d) clarify that cleartext signatures should all use charset/encoding UTF-8. e) update S2K with something more modern (PBKDF2, HKDF, scrypt?), deprecate all the other mechnanisms explicitly f) standardize the two new curves coming out of the CFRG: 25519 and curve448 ("goldilocks") for both signatures and encryption (Werner has already started this process for 25519 signatures) g) remove compression entirely h) clean up the language: clearly distinguish between "public key" and "certificate", and ensure that the use of the terms "trust" and "validity", if still present, are used unambiguously. i) declare a literal data packet type "m" that means "MIME content" so that we can punt on the rest of the message structure/format/encoding/type craziness to MIME. j) deprecate 3DES, IDEA, and as many of the weaker ciphers as we can get away with. k) provide a modern streamable/chunkable AEAD replacement for Symmetrically-Encrypted Integrity-Protected Data (SEIPD) packets l) change MTI algorithms: SHA512, the two new ECs, and the new AEAD mechanism should be the baseline.
