Do you mean missing Issuer subpacket (5.2.3.5) or one pointing two keys with duplicated long keyids? I have never seen the former and in any case I would consider this a corrupted message. To fix the latter we will certainly define the use of a fingerprint. > I can't see anything in the charter that would exclude it, it says the work > items "include, but are not limited to ...", and specifically allows for work > that won't unduly delay things and that has support from the WG. Changing the entire packet structure is not an easy thing and definitely would delay the listed goals. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz.
