+ predecessor key must exactly match those of the key being
+ modified. The activation date of the successor key will be set

+ Sets the prepublication interval for a key. If set, then
+ the publication and activation dates must be separated by at least
+ this much time. If the activation date is specified but the
+ publication date isn't, then the publication date will default
+ to this much time before the activation date; conversely, if
+ the publication date is specified but activation date isn't,
+ then activation will be set to this much time after publication.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If the key is being set to be an explicit successor to another
+ key, then the default prepublication interval is 30 days;
+ otherwise it is zero.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As with date offsets, if the argument is followed by one of
+ the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi', then the
+ interval is measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours,
+ or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the interval is
+ measured in seconds.
