  I think it is a mistake to consider a signature can degrade a key's
value. After all, we CAN'T prevent people from signing our keys,
unless we try to keep them off the keyservers. But keys tend to end in
keyservers (probably they feel lonely and want to gather with their
peers). And bogus signatures from bogus keys don't weaken the WoT,
since a bogus key is not signed, so the signatures are meaningless. Of
course these signatures increase the public key size, but you can
distribute a clean copy of your key to your peers.

  Best Regards
