Re: including the entire fingerprint of the issuer in an OpenPGP certification

i'm pretty sure that's not what he suggested, actually.  But clearly it
wasn't successfully communicated to everyone, since we appear to have
different interpretations.  Jon, can you clarify what you meant?

I meant nothing more than a one-byte algorithm number (section 9.4) and then 
the hash. So for example all the current fingerprints could be recoded with an 
0x02 (SHA1) and then the existing fingerprint. If you want to version it, too, 
sure, why not. I think it's superfluous, but it wouldn't hurt and what's a byte 
among friends?
