A possibly simpler way to do handle key preferences would be to allow
a key to claim that it has higher priority than a specified list of
other keys.  So if you had keys A, B, and C matching the desired userid,
and A claimed it was higher priority than B, while C claimed to be higher
priority than A or B, we would use C.

If B had signed the claim that A was higher priority and A had signed the
claim that C was higher priority, then we could even believe the claims.
