Well, it still may make sense using a free-form UID. Imagine a David
Shaw from London has created a free-form UID which is signed by Jack
upon checking his personal ID card. Now this Davin Shaw adds a new
UID with email address to it, Jackcould now also challenge/response
the listed email address. After such a successful check he can
successfully associate that email address with David Shaw from London
as only he possesses the private key and could have decrypted the
message.

I think it does not matter whether there are 10 or only 1 David Shaws
listen of server if you know which key you have verfied.

But as far as I know this concept is not taken into consideration in
current gpg implementations.
