-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

according to RFC 2440:5.2.1. (Signature Types)

    0x10: Generic certification of a User ID and Public Key packet.
        The issuer of this certification does not make any particular
        assertion as to how well the certifier has checked that the
        owner of the key is in fact the person described by the User ID.
        Note that all PGP "key signatures" are this type of
        certification.

what is meant by the last sentence? it would seem is if signature types
0x11-0x13 are not valid, and i know that isn't the case.
