I'd love to have a better framework for publicly expressing trust
relationships, but I really don't think this was one of the intended
uses of subkeys.  [Given where the RFC stands, I think that trust
expresion would best be addressed by a new, adjunct RFC.]

Sure, no problem - I was just thinking we could slay these things with the same stone, but in retrospect it seems like it only confuses an issue that David had done a good job clarifying..
