Can you give an example why would someone want to publish that their private
key is offline? I'm not sure I see a use for that.
I have two encryption keys but only one marked as offline. If someone
wants to send a quick message he would encrypt to the non-offline key.
If he has to tell me something really secret, he would select the
offline key, assuming that I will move the message to a non-networked
box where the offline key is stored.
I am not sure whether this is really useful for most users, but split
and group keys are also somewhat esoteric and not even defined in
OpenPGP.
