Hi Jon,..
Thanks for your answers :-)

5) Is it allowed that more than on subpackets of the same type exist
in the same signature?
E.g. Two policy URIs in on 0x13, or two preferred key servers. And
what would it mean?
It makes sense to me to have two preferred keyservers. I don't have
an
opinion about policy URIs, but I wouldn't discount it automatically
out of
hand.
Uhm, may I propose for a future RFC that all this is clarified a
little bit and perhaps tightened up?
I think right now the RFC suggests that in case of multiple subpackets
per signature the last on in the signature takes priority?
But again that's was just a suggestion if I recall correctly and thus
may left space for ambiguities.
Why isn't the solution then what the RFC says -- that the last one
takes precedence?
If you find this unsatisfying, then why not start an I-D to clarify?
I'm not going to comment further, but only because I'm in a hurry and
haven't memorized the hex values.
If you'd find time to do so later I'd still welcome it :-)
David made only a few comments (this is definitely not a complaint ;-)
and I'm still not fully sure how this works, or whether it's
completely up to the implementation.
I apologize for not having the time to be an RFC lawyer, but if the
RFC says that the last one takes precedence, I think we're done.
