preferred keyserver settings

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi.

Ok, this is a little bit off topic...

The RFC says the following about the preferred keyserver:

5.2.3.18. Preferred key server
 (String)
 This is a URI of a key server that the key holder prefers be used
 for updates. Note that keys with multiple User IDs can have a
 preferred key server for each User ID. Note also that since this is
 a URI, the key server can actually be a copy of the key retrieved by
 ftp, http, finger, etc.


What does this "the key server can actually be a copy of the key 
retrieved by" mean?
Does it mean that I is totally conformant to specify an URI like: 
"http://foo.bar/myPersonalKey.asc" (note that I'm aware that there is no 
bar TLD ;-) )?
This URI would simply hold a copy of the key (and probably all its 
signatures (including revokation certs and so on)) that could be 
retrieved via http.

Would this be conformant with the standard?

Would it work with gpg? ;)

Best wishes,
Chris.
