There isn't really a "standard trust model". What you should really do
is have a key signing policy and embed the URL to that policy with
every signature (plus, obviously, sign the policy). e.g. pipe
<http://jeromebaum.com/jerome.asc> through "gpg --list-packets" and
you'll see that the link to my signing policy is
<http://jeromebaum.com/policy.html> and per the footnote there you can
find the signature at <http://jeromebaum.com/policy.html.asc>.

That said, I believe the standard says something like "0x11 means 'I
didn't really check' " -- read your own thing into that but to me it
means the level is useless. 0x12 is a moderate check and 0x13 an
in-depth check, which everyone interprets differently.
