A lot of questions about CERT, PKA and make-dns-cert

All, I'm in the process of writing a blog entry about the PKA and CERT methods. A couple people have written them a long time ago, and I'd like to bring some of the info up to date. (If this is better asked on gnupg-dev, let me know). For starters: 1) Currently the only tool that can
