Hi Robert, It's a great idea to update the FAQ.
I propose to explain the different key in the keyring: - C for Certify. This key certify all other key in your keyring - E for Encrypt. It's use for encryption/decryption. Be aware with encryption subkey. - S for Sign. This key is use for sign document, message, file, etc... - A for Authentification. You can use this key to authentificate your self to a server/desktop (SSH, PAM) And some subtilities with subkeys, like you should always have a backup on your encryption subkey. Because GnuPG use the lastest key for encrypt, and even if you have an encryption key in your master key, you couldn't decrypt it because it was encrypted with you lastest key, your subkey...
