Sort of. Basically, if you want the semantics of the tag as defined by a particular person, you use their tag. If you want different semantics, you can use your own tag (possibly using the same tag name, but @ your own domain). In the case of the issuer-fpr tag specifically, I'd use dkg's tag. It's straightforward and well defined. David _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
