I'm only using the key servers for distribution of the host-id key, not
implying that the host-ID key is available for public signing (and thus
not interesting in a WoT).
What we need is to create a link between the person and the host, maybe
include the host-ID in the persons public key?
For example:

pub  1024D/114AA85C 2003-04-14 Thomas Sjogren <email>
hid <host fingerprint> <date>=20
=2E..
