Let me restate what I think the patches do.

208: if the key is thought to be revoked, put an 'r' in the
     pub flags field.

209: Print uat instead of uid for user attribute IDs.

210: Only show the latest selfsig date in uid records instead of all
     selfsig dates.

If my understanding is correct, then 208 is fine, and 210 is fine.
The change in 209 does not match the MR spec, but if showing uat
records is generally thought to be useful, I can add it to the spec.
I'm not sure that anyone receiving a MR listing would care if a uat
exists, but I guess the program could note something like "this key
also has a photo ID" or the like.

It is not clear what the first field (where the name goes for uids)
should mean for uats.  Comments?
