The point of WKD is that your trust in the domain owner replaces the nerdy <br>

1000s of third-party signatures. But in the end it's up to you what you <br>
publish. But don't expect gpg to import via WKD anything and everything you <br>
publish, e.g. it strips all user IDs not matching the looked up email address <br>
