This is actually a bit counterintuitive, since

K:D

means D major (= 2 sharps)

while

K:D ^f

means D mix (= 1 sharp)

Not that there are many tunes about currently which use global accidentals,
but the second interpretation of the symbol D breaks the old standard.

If the symbol D is to be interpreted in a new way (i.e. as tonic, rather
than as a D major key signature) I'd rather it was explicitly labelled as
such, i.e.

K: tonic=D ^f

or some such.
