That would not be the tracking of a request (nitpicking terminology
here) but, rather, that you could be busted if They found your trust
list. I don't think this is all that much of an issue since you'll
probably have the information on your hard drive anyway, so then They can
just bust you for having the information. Even if you filtered requests
client-side (throw out non-matching ones) then you'd still have to keep
the public keys on your hard drive. I don't see how transmitting the
public key over the wire lessens anonymity at all.

Yay!
