In my deployment of PGP signatures we're using only FQDNs in the UserID
field in many cases (because they keys are tied to an entity and not a
person).  I'll note that RFC4880 does not specify the contents of the
UserID field, only saying that by convention it's an email address but
not actually REQUIRING it.  I would oppose text that requires an email
address in the ID field.

I agree with you and I don't think anyone proposed changing this
recommendation.
