The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC9580, "OpenPGP". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8449 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Jasper Spaans <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2025-06-05 Held by: Paul Wouters (IESG) Section: 5.11 Original Text ------------- A User ID packet consists of UTF-8 text that is intended to represent the name and email address of the keyholder. By convention, it includes a mail name-addr as described in [RFC2822], but there are no restrictions on its content. The packet length in the header specifies the length of the User ID. Corrected Text -------------- A User ID packet consists of UTF-8 text that is intended to represent the name and email address of the keyholder. By convention, it includes a mailbox as described in [RFC2822], but there are no restrictions on its content. The packet length in the header specifies the length of the User ID. Notes ----- A name-addr requires angled brackets around the mail address, which in practice are left off when there is no display name. `mailbox` in rfc2822 (and 5322) is defined as `name-addr / addr-spec` so it can be either the original name-addr, or a bare address which does occur in the wild. Paul Wouters (SEC AD): Note that the corrected text also does not fully address the problem.
