Indeed, the web page was missing a 'id='. Earlier versions of the idea
allowed the 'id=' string to be optional, but that is no longer the case.
I have changed the key id field to be at least 8 hex characters long.
The reason it isn't hard coded to a particular length is that openpgp
fingerprints may be of different lengths. Still, 8 hex characters
appear to be the minimum length in use today.
I'm going to submit an updated -03 version of the document soon, so if
any of you have any comments on the latest protocol, now would be a
perfect time to send them. The latest document is available from:
