Universal Indult Already Signed?

I don't know if this counts as a rumor or as a genuine source . . . but word came to me this afternoon that Fr. Martin Edwards, chaplain of the UK branch of Aid to the Church in Need, in a recent meeting with Cardinal Zen of Hong Kong, received confirmation that the "universal indult" (whatever that will mean) has, in fact, been signed by Pope Benedict XVI. Cardinal Zen had this information from the Pope himself in a private meeting.
