Another aspect I didn't test is what PGP does when the designated

revocations with a matching "issuer" hint. (Anyone who could tweak
the hint could destroy the revocation just as easily anyway.)
Does it? If there is a match (but no key), what is the validity decision?
If the designated revoker's key is not present, then a key "revoked"
by the designated revoker key is not treated as revoked. GnuPG - as
of this morning - does it the same way.
