Here are some (admittedly late) comments that have not been brought up on earlier threads on this document.

Introduction:
   To
   obtain that public key, two problems need to be solved by the
   sender's email client, MUA or MTA.
An Oxford comma is very much needed in that sentence.

The following will cause problems:
   This trust model is not meant to replace the "web of trust" model.
You either need to define that model (since it is not defined in any other RFC), or delete the sentence. I strongly support the latter action.

In Section 3, item #2 is not really an item, it is a continuation of the preceding item. There are only three steps here, not 4.
