* gpg.sgml: Fix a few missing semicolons in & entities. Noted by

Browse Source 
Christian Biere.  Some minor grammar fixes.  Remove the "host -l pgp.net |
grep wwwkeys" advice since the nameserver no longer all allow zone
transfers.  Replace it with a mention of hkp://subkeys.pgp.net.  Note that
BZIP2 defaults to compression level 6.

Most keyservers synchronize with each other, so there is generally no
need to send keys to more than one server. Using the command "host -l
pgp.net | grep wwwkeys" gives you a list of HKP keyservers. When
using one of the wwwkeys servers, due to load balancing using
round-robin DNS you may notice that you get a different key server
each time.
