No particularly insightful reason;  first, the _pk_ functions are 
available today in 1.1.12, so I can build my code on my Debian and OS X 
systems without reconfiguring.  Second, they seemed better documented 
-- indeed, tests/pubkey.c was useful, though it did not include a 
sign/verify test.  Third, and least important, the manual's 
introduction of the _ac_ functions read like they were for wimps who 
couldn't be bothered to learn s-expressions, so my ego took over <grin>.

That said, if 1.1.13 were released yesterday and ac.c signed plaintext 
(check_run has an unused variable "s" that looks like it is for this 
purpose), I probably would have trusted that _ac_ was easier and made a 
different choice.
