Jon announced at IETF that he's about ready to go to a penultimate

Here's a cluster of Key ID comments and questions.
- v3 Key ID and Fingerprint are handled in 5.5.2
v4 Key ID and Fingerprint are handled in 11.2
I suggest they ought to be discussed in the same place, or that
the v3 and v4 discussions be more parallel. I understand that the
current structure is the result of handling it from a historical
or archaeological viewpoint, but I think a functional breakdown
makes more sense.
At least a pointer in 5.5.2 to 11.2.
Also some note that V4 RSA key ids are valid and different from V3.
i.e. Same Key, different ID.
Right now, I have RSA as V3, and DH/DSS as V4. It is one of the remaining
things I should do is add RSA to V4 and relegate the V3 to my pgp 2.6.2
subset.
