Hi Adrian,
yes that's better. But the # is not so apparent and I missed the meaning 
though I read your page several times. Maybe you should mention the 
opposite too:

e.g. "When listing secret keys for the
  original complete key the primary key is shown without the #."

The presence/absence of the # is a very cryptical (!) way of supplying very 
important information! Thus this has to be explained very thoroughly.

I would like to suggest some printout in plaintext from GPG in a future 
release!
