Correct.  The reason is that this can't be done in a PGP2 compatible
way without the use of temporary files.

Anyway, the 2 step approach is the better one becuase you can strip
the encryption layer and keep the signature with all its
meta-information intact.  rfc3156 allows the combined method only for
conveninece - the standard is to use MIME objects for it.
