Turned out you were right about that.  I did generate the 'revoke cert'
and have it stored away (and printed out) in a safe place.  Not on a
computer at all. :)  The 'irrevocable signing' I was thinking of turned
out to be a case of me signing a key for someone else.  I was just a bit
confused is all.

I decided to leave the key size at 1024 since it has an expiration date
now, and a revoke cert safely stored away.  Next time though I will go
with at least 2048.  If something happens before the key expires the same.

I have attached my key for any that might want it.

Bill
