* DETAILS: Document the --attribute-fd data.
* gpg.sgml: Document --set-notation. Explain why it is not possible to
disable permission warnings in the gpg.conf file about the homedir. Add
pointer in --ignore-time-conflict to see --ignore-valid from, and vice
versa. Warning not to try and parse --list-keys in scripts. Document the
signature flags (1-3/L/R/P/N/X), Document expandos %g and %p. Note the
default --personal-digest-preferences are "H2".
