gnupg support of google wave

Will the new open protocol wave be supported (signing and encryption) by gnupg ?

I think you are asking the question in the wrong order. You should ask
whether OpenPGP will be supported by wave.

It's otherway around, wave should support OpenPGP, but then I'm not sure
if it'll be much useful.
Say, if you (let's call A) start conversation with someone, B. In this
case, it wouldn't be too much of problem communicating using OpenPGP.
Then what happens if person C is added in the middle of conversation?
C wouldn't be able to decipher anything prior to his/her joining as
messages are not encrypted for C.

Firstly, by "supported" I mean, if it becomes a standard communication
tool, could creation of key process be modified (name, email adress,
comment => name wave adress comment), because I understood that an
email adress cannot be a wave adress. Is there deep technical issus
there or just a matter of vocabulary ?

Adding a participant to a wavelate means to me that the wavelet has to
be reencrypted by adding C's public key ... but I'm not a tech expert
so It might be silly ...

This is all a ton of cart-before-the-horse.

Let me ask a simple question. "If someone enters into the wave, should
they be able to read previous traffic?" Some people say yes, some
people say no. Some use cases say it's obvious, others say obviously not.

It's rash to talk about supporting a particular protocol within Wave
before there's a consensus on what behaviors we want.
