I really only intend to sign keys for my own benefit.  That is, I sign
keys so that I can be sure the person I received the assignment from is
the same as the person I am submitting it too.  It's not important for
me, who anybody is.  Its only important that once they are who they are,
they stay that way...

So I am totally cool with using nicnames and whatever.  The signature
for me is more about knowing who a person is, rather than what their
name/ID/Picture is.
