Re: PGP signature of empty string

Sure, because signing an empty string doesn't make sense.  See my earlier
quoted text:

  No one uses XEP-0027 these days, they all use OTR. The PGP integration with
  XMPP clients was an early experiment in the Jabber community before we even
  called it XMPP. Think 13+ years ago. But clients never signed empty strings,
  although we never fixed the spec because no one was using the technology.
  I'll push to make the spec Obsolete.

This shouldn't have been in the spec in the first place, and the spec itself
is obsolete.
