Hi Andre, I used Wiktor's WKD checker which you link to. :-)

I guess I have created a new use case, regarding WKD
usage for GitHub pages and how Werner implemented
WKD.

I guess the only way to fix it (for many people) would be
that, as of my understanding (now) the WKD check
and SSL cert check would be a bit more flexible, either
in allowing subdomains, like the github.io ones in form
of a fix in the code or as setting in GnuPG' config file.

I could be totally wrong of course, so let's see what
Werner says.
