Hash: SHA1

according to my reading of rfc 2440, a key revocation is only valid if
either:
	a) it was generated by the PRIMARY key, or
	b) it was generated by a key DESIGNATED by the PRIMARY key

q1 - is that correct?

q2 - are there any (broken?) applications that will accept a revocation
key generated by a subkey as valid?
