Hello John,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6781
the standard "names" are in RFC 6781 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6781
I read them both the draft, and the RFC. A little like eating saw dust, but if you want to make sure thinks are unambiguous I suppose that's inevitable.
Why a formal period between "ready" and "active", surely if the publishing period is correctly chosen then a key is activated when ready. Similarly when a key has reach the end of its retirement and is dead, surely it should be removed from the system asap. The more junk there is lying around the greater the likely hood of error.
