There are no requirements for the keyservers to present a "human
readable" UI. Ok, so I'm putting that in quotes here since it is all
text based and indeed human readable, but the point is that they would
have to know the HKP specs to perform the lookups using the correct
"API calls".

HKP defaults to 11371 so that information is already included by the
absence of anything else.
