This page should be used to discuses the XEP's and implementation of XEP-0373: OpenPGP for XMPP

History of version of public key
Note that the result may contain multiple pubkey elements. Only the public keys found in the most recent item MUST be used. Requesters may want to limit the results to the most recent item using the 'max_items' attribute set to '1'.
Is it required to have a versions for the public key?
A public key can be changed for
- Adding or removing UIDs
- Adding or removing (revoke) Subkeys
- Change the expiration date
- Adding Key signatures
I think there is no need to provide a history.
Key-lookup / GnuPG's Keyring / Homedir
How should the Sender fetch the public key and where should it be stored?
- The key-lookup can be done via a lookup of all known keys with the XMPP-URI as UID.

In this example there is a UID for the E-Mail and an additional UID with the XMPP-URI as Name (`gpg --quick-add-uid`). I guess, most of the time there user has just one key per account. It could be, that a user has one key for his Desktop and one key for his laptop. There is also the possibility - I didn't try yet - to create two subkeys [E] and have one key stored on the Desktop and one on the laptop.

There are two [E] subkeys.
- We shouldn't care how the user receives the public key. This should be via Keyserver, WKD, E-Mail or XMPP PEP.
If I read a Mail via Mailinglist and get the public key via WKD, it would be also used for XMPP. Also, if I'm going to update the public keys. This is important for the WoT and to make sure that a key is valid, because of new Key signatures.
- The user should be able to use his own key. For instance, if the user would like to use his OpenPGP Smartcard / Token for E-Mail and XMPP.
- The user should be able to manage his public keys like all other keys GnuPG's `--update-trustdb`and `refresh-keys`
- The user should be able to use WoT pgp or tofu
- The WoT is important for messages which has been signed or signcypted
I think it will be better to use the same keyring and homedir like GnuPG us it.
