-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The description of the "Primary User ID" subpacket says: > If more than one user id in a key is marked as primary, the > implementation may resolve the ambiguity in any way it sees fit. It seems that the most likely reason for a second "primary" is that it has been updated. If so, it seems that one should defer to the most recent valid signature. Can we say that an implementation "SHOULD" do that, rather than leaving it open? I suppose it would be possible to revoke the old signature with a "primary" subpacket, and then issue a new signature for both the old and new name. (The "Reason for Revocation" values include one to indicate the *key* being superceded, and one to indicate that the user ID information is no longer valid, but not one to indicate that the signature has been superceded.) This seems like a long way to go to deal with a lack of a firm disambiguation policy. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.3 iQEVAwUBO4XSr2NDnIII+QUHAQEd8QgAqB+WD9AtiJTfxnl331fYryxllmhUEpdg x/BH4usS5iOSWv9Bx7Ry3NUY535zmnKfeU4p7Y5SlVRF9OtnboeWbNoBz++3ik8X rzuGN/ZvKq0bf8qvoEsGbKGxyRNU4G5h0YbqWZmr82VDHafxVfpp8m9oJ1Pz7+Ya 8WVJbpTU1fNneXxWnWHpf8r0iMokVku1QAZq2xvsvKXUFGb3qp7ae6YSsuualY7W aVVX5AyPEjBFYyfVb+QNvx1PNX73YpYv5Uh5ZgIvCOxQCGlRqNeJsSvzd+eS2t5D K2fYNAq598hJOYv3Rl+sOHLNC1QwOXfJA4dqJEdOS+Nycx1rk50q3w== =aa+1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
