Proposal of OpenPGP Email Validation

[Kristian Fiskerstrand]

[Sent from my HTC, as it is not a secured device there are no cryptographic
keys on this device, meaning this message is sent without an OpenPGP
signature. In general you should *not* rely on any information sent over
such an unsecure channel, if you find any information controversial or
un-expected send a response and request a signed confirmation]

You are still in control of that given that you can (i) opt not to click
the validation link, so other users defer back to WoT, same as today (ii)
elect not to give any ownertrust to the CA
