OpenPGP identity certifications ("keysignings") make no claims one way
or the other about a person's moral character.
Such a certification is simply an assertion that the person holding the
indicated identity also controls the corresponding cryptographic key
material.
This kind of confusion is exactly why i think cert-levels are a
"solution" in search of a problem. People already find it hard enough
to reason about a distributed network of identity assertions (the "web
of trust") *without* having to factor in certification levels.
Keep it simple. (or, don't bother)
