A notary can issue a notary signature on any signature, which includes

signature-in-a-subpacket on the unhashed area of the original
signature would be an effective way of transporting the notary sig
around with the key.

could this be done in a way that existing implementations can just
'ignore' (i.e., not 'choke' on) the notary signature if it can't 'recognize'
what it is,  when importing a key with a notary signature on the self-
signed sig of the key?
