Hello,

I've three suggestions on draft-wouters-dane-openpgp-02:

1. email domain providers MUST provide a secure API/interface to 
customers to provide a personal OpenPGP public key

2. MTAs/SPAM detection systems MUST check if the tupel "sender email 
address" <-> "sender OpenPGP public key" matches and MUST reject the 
email in case it does not match with signed messages to prevent address 
forgery and SPAM.

3. Security considerations: The IANA has control over the DNSSEC root 
keys. As the IANA is bound to US law, US government agencies probably 
have access to the DNSSEC root keys and are capable to manipulate the 
OpenPGP keys signed with DNSSEC.
