Indeed.  A timestamping service makes more sense when it can be used
to certify that a given signature was done at that time.

Does PGP implemnt this, are there any notary services out providing
such a service, should we clear this up in the next OpenPGP draft?

I have not seen any requests for this, so better don't check it in.

BTW, I have released 1.0.6d but not written an announcement yet.
