No.  We can easily map signed attributes to notation data.  There is
actually no difference except that the name must be an OID which makes
up a perfect name. I'll soon implement such an attribute for gpgsm.

I don't see the need for it.  This puts too much OpenPGP knowledge
into GPGME.  For a full featured keylisting with all details, gpgme
might not be the right tool.  Remember the "made easy"?  It is already
too complicated.

We do have many many details in the OpenPGP format; The majority is of
no use for a user trying to encrypt/sign/verify something.
