Why can't you invent a convention that adjusts the
userid to include an OpenPGP/MIME hint?

Ugh. And then I'm forced to change the userid when I change my mailer, 
and lose all signatures on the userid that I've collected so far? I 
think embedding this info in the selfsig is the way to go - I can 
replace that and if the software is clever enough to silently ignore 
all but the newest selfsig, all users won't even notice that the 
underlying technology doesn't allow you to change your key, but only to 
add to it. I still think that this is a perfect example where notations 
would be the solution.

cheers
