I think Werner would have participated in the discussion already if
other people's explanations had been incorrect.  It's an open standard,
and your focus on one person who happens to be the registered author
doesn't help.  If you insist on Werner's personal opinion, then you
should maybe contact him directly instead of the GnuPG-Users list.
Knowing well that he has no obligation to reply to anyone.

Hopefully my (and others') attempts to explain / defend the WKD
specification were still useful to you.

Kind regards
André
