* DETAILS (VALIDSIG): Add version, pk algo, digest algo, sig class, and a

reserved field for flags in a future version.

* gpg.sgml: Document --no-textmode and --no-use-agent.  Clarify the
interoperability section.  Clarify that "hkp corruption"
(repair-hkp-subkey-bug) is really "pks corruption"
(repair-pks-subkey-bug).

For example, as of this writing, no version of official PGP supports
the BLOWFISH cipher algorithm. If you use it, no PGP user will be
able to decrypt your message. The same thing applies to the ZLIB

If you absolutely must override the safe default, you are far better
off using the --pgp2, --pgp6, or --pgp7 options. These options are
safe as they do not force any particular algorithms in violation of
OpenPGP, but rather reduce the available algorithms to a "PGP-safe"
list.
