Hmm I guess my policy has a dual-purpose -- key policy (how secure is
it etc.) and signing policy (how well do I check other keys). The
latter needs only a self-signature, the former is another matter. I
don't think someone else can vouch for the facts about how I store my
key, as they have no way to check -- even if I use a smart-card, how
do they know I didn't generate off-card and keep a backup somewhere?
