Probably all three, in limited capacities.

Yes, that's the route I am going to take: revocations will trump
everything else.  However, the revoked sig will be more difficult to
implement as we'll have to somehow store the revoked sig separate
and then add it in if someone does a "remove-and-replace" update
to their key without it.
