Well, we currently have a single grammar for all OpenPGP messages:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9580.html#name-openpgp-messages.

But yeah, if we want to change that / split them into two (or more?
Is it useful to allow unencrypted and unsigned messages, as the current
grammar does? Perhaps not.) ..then perhaps indeed the MIME types could
be split too.

Best,
Daniel
