Correct, but also realize there are two types of signatures... exportable
and non-exportable, with the difference being exportable signatures will
permanently remain with that Public Key if you ever upload that Public Key
to any of the KeyServes. Non-exportable means the signature shows only on
the Public Key on *your* Public Key Ring.

Correct again, but if Silviu only wants to rid the verification info of
the "Invalid" designation, this can be done by signing with a
non-exportable signature once the Key Fingerprints have been compared.
