Signatures are unfortunately complicated, there is support in the master branch but that is one of the things I am really hoping the devel branch will improve upon. Though, the devel branch API is still in flux a bit so I would hold off for a little while if possible until it is more concrete.
Peter is correct about the KeyId class, perhaps you could make an issue on github to either change the doc or add a supplemental class that wraps that for you. I think adding better doc around that makes sense.
