I understand your reasoning, but text files *do* concatenate to a longer
textfile, and textual-representations of a keyring are text files.

and, we have (i think) a pretty solid understanding of what a
concatenated ASCII-armored keyring would look like.  So i'm proposing
that sop (at least) should be able to handle concatenated ASCII-armored
certificates:

Please weigh in over there!
