I don't agree with this.  The user ID system in all OpenPGP products
gives a regular UTF-8 string.  Signatures simply bind that string to
the primary key.  The system says exactly "Alex Mauer belongs with key
0x51192ff2" and "hawke at hawkesnest.net belongs with key 0x51192ff2".
You cannot sign a user ID without binding it to a key.
