I'm not opposed to any of the work described.  It's all good.
Asynchronously to it, under the auspices of:

} 1. The work will not unduly delay the closure of the working group after
} the revision is finished (unless the working group is rechartered).

It seems that the key distributions servers suffer from a variety of
ailments.   DDOS attacks, and other privacy issues.

We also have draft-koch-openpgp-webkey-service in the DT,
which sure sounds like webfinger/rfc7033, yet isn't.

I think that there is some spec somewhere (maybe PHB's MMM) about asking for
keys via MIME.
