I like this suggestion (which is similar to what Dirk proposed). Even
though it obviously doesn't satisfy all possible legal requirements,
it may help a number of users. It also gives a lot of control to the key
owner. Letting a key owner decide if their key should be available in
the PGP keydatabases, rather then leaving it up to just anyone who may
decide to upload a random key, is a big plus imho.
