Ok, this will fix the WoT from my perspective. What about other users importing my
work key? Especially when they don't fully trust my personal key, they will never
trust the work-key, because there are no other links that may generate trust by
having multiple marginally trusted links. They might decide to manually change that
when they see the two keys are actually from the same person, but I guess this
will never be handeled automatically.

That shouldn't be a problem, as long as I don't ask people to sign my work key
and don't sign with my work key.
