Yes sure, I just thought that it would make formatter/encrypter discovery 
easier, but that's a detail and clearly not necessary.

It'z explaining the general mechanism, and the wrapper to look for, how to 
detect the feature and exchange data. And no, the messaging protocol is 
handled by the gateways, it's only about encrypting payload, and teaching 
client how to do so. My long term goal is to have a generic, sandboxed, 
webassembly based mechanism that clients have to implement once for all.
The case of OpenPGP is special because we can re-use large part of OX for 
that.

Best,
Goffi
