An easy countermeasure would be to limit the size of the meta data (user
IDs, attribute id, notations and so).  Well, until people start to chop
this data up into several signatures.  Anyway, I don't think that the
keyserver network has the capacity to work as a content delivery
services.  P2P is a far easier system for that.  Of course, the
keyservers could than act as a directory service ...
