I propose that the description field be augmented to include optional
email style headers.  Further, we specify the following header to
specify the new key:

  Superceded-by: fingerprint

I think it is better to have a signature subpacket or notation data to
the same effect.  This has the advantage that it can also be used with a
non-revoked key or data signature to declare a plan to supercede a key
in the near future.

This is a good point.  Either approach that you propose seems
reasonable to me.

This is a great idea.  Can you suggest a patch to the 4880bis draft that
Werner started?
