The way I really use it is to exchange keys with a >correspondent in plain text and confirm fingerprints out of band. I used the WoT once to validate a key. The key I validated was my own. I was at work, and my key was at home and on a key server. I wanted to send some company confidential data home, so I down loaded my key from the key server. My key had been signed by Carl Ellison, and I had a copy of Carl's business card with his key fingerprint. I check the fingerprint against Carl's signature, and had enough faith in my own key to use it. Life does bring up some strange uses.
