Re: V5 key packet format requirements

IMHO, things that have nothing to do with the user ID should not be in a
self-signature, but in a direct key signature (type 0x1F) instead.


But I agree
that signatures on keys are less popular with implementations than they
should be. OTOH, this is not directly related to the key packet format.


The introduction of V5 would be a good moment to remedy this situation.
