yes, pretty much anything can be published as long as the keyservers do
not do crypto.  That's something that the keyservers need to fix, as it
would prevent other problems as well.

In the meantime, we can produce certifications that won't be
misinterpreted by the keyservers as they currently exist, and can be
validated by any future keyservers that do proper cryptographic checks.
