Is there a "-----END PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" tag?

According to http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN153,
Clearsigned documents do not seem to have a "-----END PGP SIGNED
MESSAGE-----" tag. And yet there is a "-----END PGP MESSAGE-----" tag
for messages encrypted with gnupg. Am I missing something here?

The armor line tags depend on the type of the message. For example a
clear signed signature looks like this

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Stay the curse.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v2.1.0-beta77 (GNU/Linux)

yNwAn0caiuKpmJTiiutn+TqMlHsL4c66

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The two armor lines are required by the special clearsigned format. The
first BEGIN introduces the signed text, the second ends the signed text
and starts the signature, and the END ends all. The details are, as
usual, in RFC-4880.

Do you mean
- -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
?

If I had been the one designing the armour format, and I had thought of this
little detail, I'd have named the three headers something like:

- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
...
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
...
- -----END PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Seems to come out better and avoiding any confusion. But it's nitpicking. And
it suggests the signature is part of the message :).
