Agree.  I asked just to be sure :)

All user IDs will be valid if key is valid and trusted (i.e. I have
called 'trust' in --edit-key).  I have some keys that are valid but
are not trusted.  Werner's key is both valid and trusted...

OK, I am satisfied with your answer, thank you.

Another question: is default of --min-cert-level is 1 as man-page
states?  I have different results with

$ gpg --min-cert-level 1 --update-trustdb

and

$ gpg --update-trustdb

I use gpg (GnuPG) 1.3.6.  The option is not changed in any
configuration file.
