=2D-desig-revoke
                 Generate a designated revocation certificate for a key.  T=
his
                 allows a user (with  the  permission  of  the  keyholder) =
 to
                 revoke someone elses key.

Is this a possible solution for revoking old keys that are simply out of us=
e,=20
including those where the secret key has been lost?

How does the keyholder authorise this remote revocation?

If the secret key is still required, it can only be exported from a working=
=20
GnuPG installation, so why the need for the remote option?

How does this differ from the keyholder revoking the key locally?

I can't find any info on this option, other than the brief man page sentenc=
e=20
above.
