	Because these procedures have been known as key signings since
 the beginning of time?  That anyone who works with PGP/GPG already
 knows what it means? Because most people use language to sommunicate,
 and communication implies a basis set of accepted semantics and
 language, and the accepted nomenclature is key signing?  Because I am
 more interested in conveying my ideas than nit picking irrelevant
 details?
