As with many other subpackets there is no clear definition on what
to do and it is left to the implementor to decide this. From my
understanding it does make sense to handle such things this way:
* If it is on any direct key signature, use this one (or exactly
the one on the latest direct key signure.
* Otherwise take it from the latest self-signature.

Currently I can't access them - please ask me next week, if you are

"I have worked out some more rules" implies he had to work out
rules, which implies the text merits changing.
