Revocation is interesting, because it's basically a message which is signed but not encrypted: the sender is a specific person, but the "recipient" is the whole world. I guess it would be similar to the current system: you prepare that message in advance and sign it. If you lose access to your old address, you get yourself a new one and send out the pre-prepared message saying that you've lost access to your old address. Essentially, keys and addresses serve a similar function: both are "online identities". Keys are used by the cryptographic systems to identify you, while addresses are used by the email server (and routing system) to identify you. I think it makes sense to combine the two.
