IMHO as creation of more keys with same name will always be possible (in
disconnected spaces), we better accept to work with them properly (using
only key-hashes in certs and showing names with the first uncommon part
of the key hash in case of clashes)...

CREATE TABLE revision_certs
        (
        hash not null unique,   -- hash of remaining fields
        id not null,            -- joins with revisions.id
        name not null,          -- opaque string chosen by user
        value not null,         -- opaque blob
-       keypair not null,       -- joins with public_keys.id
+       keypair not null,       -- joins with public_keys.hash
        signature not null,     -- RSA/SHA1 signature of "address@hidden:val]"
        unique(name, id, value, keypair, signature)
        );
