Here's the "ciphertext" of the example Armored Message in 6.6:

- -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: OP V0.0

When I run this through my OpenPGP-parsing tool (the first version of
which I posted to CodherPlunks last weekend), it says the following:

        ASCII-armoured PGP message.
        Packet 0: old-style indeterminate length
                Compressed data: type 1.
                Zip-compressed packet bundle.
        Packet 1: old-style length 50
                Literal data.
                        Text data from file stdin 1970.01.01
                        Data: Transmission keys MUST NOT recovered.

The data part of it is missing a "be" after the "MUST NOT".
It's a cute place to put it in the spec, but the humour is
lost a little if it has a typo.
