Possibly an FAQ, but can't see it...

To you mean GOODSIG?  A workaround is to use the given keyid to
lookup all the other UIDs.  I don't think it is a good idea to emit
more than one GOODSIG for one signature.  So a new keyword would do
the job.

BTW, in 1.1 we will have the notation of a primary user ID which
should get used for displayed user IDs; it is calculated by looking
at the primary user ID flag and the creation times of the user IDs.

Makes sense.  Probably we have to add this anyway to support the
GPAPA library.

Ciao,
