I'll change that in DKGPG soon, however, to avoid trouble IMHO some kind
of self-signature is still required (e.g. type 0x1f).
Right. Most properties of an OpenPGP key are conveyed via
self-signatures. Thus for general use they are really important. Derek
has a very special use case and that is why the need for a
self-signature has been dropped. Almost all other applications still
need them.
Direct key signatures can of course be used but we do not have much
experience with them. I fear that some OpenPGP implementations will not
work correctly if only such a direct key self-signature is available.
