Neat.  I have probably read agent/keyformat.txt before, but
not in a long time and I never had any reason to consider
editing the .key files.

This caused me to re-read the document and I'll likely add
an additional Token: line to note the two cards which hold a
new key (which I have yet to start using).  That should make
it easier to move between the cards, it sounds like.

In the process, I spotted a few minor typos and sent a patch
to gnupg-devel.

Thanks again, Werner!
