I think we can agree not to have any notion of CAs in syslog-sign,
besides the simple fact that users of PKIX and OpenPGP keys might use
one witout affecting syslog-sign.
But what would be necessary to include RSA and ECDSA? As far as I see we
just had to assign two additional VERsion digits values for the
Signature Scheme.
So I suggest for 4.2.1:
Signature Scheme - 1 octet, where, in conjunction with Protocol
Version 01, a value of "1" denotes OpenPGP DSA [RFC4880,
FIPS 186-3], a value of "2" denotes RSA [RFC4880, FIPS 186-3],
and a value of "3" denotes ECDSA [FIPS 186-3].
The version, hash algorithm [...unchanged paragraph...] marks).
For interoperability all implementations MUST support Version "0111"
(DSA with SHA-1).
