Because I want to be able to make it clear *to the keyservers*, not to
"the circle of contacts" that are using the key. People make mistakes;
people change allegiances; people can be coerced.
I am talking about a statement made by the keyholder, about how they
want their key to propagate or not propagate. We have a standard that
makes clear how to express this intent. It makes sense to embed the
desired instructions in the key itself.

I don't think anything that I have proposed here is in any way against
the standard.
