While that is the ultimate solution I'm unconvinced how many copyright 
holders, in addition to doing us the favour of licensing their work 
under the GFDL, would be prepared to learn how to use gpg just so they 
could do it. We're asking *them* a favour and the onus is on us to make 
it easy for them, I think.

Cheers,
