Sure, but it's the way that everyone has used PGP for 20 years,
and it's the security model that everyone I know expects when they
use PGP keys.

This draft uses a model in which the key is bound to a mailbox, not
any stronger identity, and you have to trust that the domain's
management fairly represents its users rather than e.g., publishing
MITM keys that it controls.  That's not a ridiculous model, but if
that's the model, the draft and draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-usage need
to say so.  At this point, neither does.

R's,
John
