<keyid> = this is either the fingerprint or the key ID of the
key. Either the 16-digit or 8-digit key IDs are
acceptable, but obviously the fingerprint is best. A
keyserver should use the most specific of the key IDs
that it has available. Since it is not possible to
calculate the key ID from a V3 key fingerprint, for V3
keys this should be either the 16-digit or 8-digit
key ID only.

That text seems reasonable. Is there any software other than GnuPG
which is checking the output?
I'm inclined to agree with the text, regard 16-digit as a fallback for
old keys, and otherwise use the full fingerprint, which reduces the
potential for collision further.

Unless the idea is to say "16 bit unless you ask for fingerprint" ?
Changing the two '8's to constants, defined as 16, is certainly an easy
fix. :)
