Hi Justus,

Hello,

draft 6 of RFC4880bis proposes a "User ID Attribute Subpacket", but it
does not motivate that addition in any way.  What is the purpose of
it, and what is the advantage over using the userid packet?

From what I can see it comes from "draft-atkins-openpgp-device-certificates" that was merged in to RFC4880bis.

For details see this thread:

Kind regards,
Wiktor
