Seems I don't get the point. What's wrong with UIDs without
self-signatures? Though, they're *not* what you think about them (being
"valid" UIDs), but technically, everybody can attach any UIDs to any
key. ...and GnuPG doesn't trust UIDs without self-signatures, so
everything is okay (from my point of view).
What could be said is that it would be a nice feature to not transmit
UIDs with missing self-sigs, because they're a) not worth anything and
b) probably the result of bad kiddies. Am I wrong here?
