My use of the term was misleading I must admit, going by 4880.  I just
always found it confusing that a "public key" in OpenPGP lingo means "a
collection of one primary key and some subkeys", where each of those is
a 'public key' in itself in a cryptographical sense.

And that's why sometimes you should just use the word "Certificate."
