This sounds like a really good idea.

This way only one place would have to be updated by the user and keyservers would automatically refresh key data themselves.

I did suggest something like that but using WKD for Hagrid:

but your suggestion Andrew is more generic (key can be put on any HTTP host anywhere).

Kind regards,
