I tend to be suspicious of any positive assertion by the signer on their own behalf, regardless of whether it is part of the key or part of the signature. I'm also not sure how this indication would be used. Would the verifier or recipient do anything different depending on whether or not the local part was said to have been checked?

On the other hand, would it dilute the accountability of the signer to allow it not to say it checked the local part? I would rather that the signer do whatever diligence it needs to do to sign the message without such a caveat.
