Dear colleagues, changing today our key-cert objects, I'd encounter a bit of inconvenience: one can't cut'n'paste key-cert object from whois request: [s]he should manually delete method/owner/fingerpr attributes. My suggestion is: if one of r/o attributes exists in the object processed, DB should check whether auto-computed value of the attribute matches supplied value; - if yes, no error/warning should be produced - if no -- it should of course be reported; I think, it's up to the community to decide whether this condition should be treated as error or simply as warning. I think, the same procedure should be also applied to other de-facto read-only attributes, such as person name in person object.
