David,
Yes, it should.
I left it off because I have the "armor" option set in
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. Since I've never had the need to generate a
non-ASCII-armored file, I use it as the default.
I also have the default_key option set, since I use only one key.
Here's my gpg.conf file:
no-greeting
local-user 27A2880C
default-key 27A2880C
armor
no-escape-from-lines
keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve no-include-revoked
HTH.
