[db-wg] Proposal: key-cert update procedure change

Dear colleagues,

changing today our key-cert objects, I'd encounter a bit of inconvenience: one
can't cut'n'paste key-cert object from whois request: [s]he should manually
delete method/owner/fingerpr attributes.

My suggestion is:

if one of r/o attributes exists in the object processed, DB should check
whether auto-computed value of the attribute matches supplied value;
- if yes, no error/warning should be produced
- if no -- it should of course be reported; I think, it's up to the community
  to decide whether this condition should be treated as error or simply as
  warning.

I think, the same procedure should be also applied to other de-facto read-only
attributes, such as person name in person object.

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
