This raises a 2440bis question: given all the recent deprecation of
PGP 2.x stuff, is it worth requiring self-signatures on user IDs now?
If I recall, the only reason that user ID self-signatures are not
currently required was for 2.x compatibility.  Certainly every modern
implementation (5.0+, any GnuPG) generates user ID self-signatures
automatically when a user ID is created.

I think this is a marvelous idea.
