I'm working on a project as part of the Guardian Project that aims to make it 
really easy for people to keep their encryption keys in sync across the devices 
they use, as well as making it easy to verify the keys of the people who are on 
the other side of the communication.

First off, I'm not a cryptographer.  I am a hacker who focuses on making 
software that is as simple as possible to use while not obscuring meaningful 
details.  I'm currently exploring the idea of storing OTR keys as OpenPGP 
subkeys. So I want to ask, is it crazy to think about linking in OTR keys into 
an OpenPGP identity?

And for my next step, I'm trying to find ways to export the keys from the 
otr.private_key and otr.fingerprint files.  Any tips on the file format and how 
to convert the keys to a widely understood format, like x509 or OpenPGP?
