gpg --gen-revoke creates a "bare" revocation certificate. Most if not
all servers don't like these. Instead they want the entire revoked
public keys.
You have to import the revocation certificate, export the revoked=20
public key and submit that to the key servers.=20

IIRC, I suggested a FAQ entry on that subject to Nils but he doesn't
seem to have gotten around to including it yet.
