How many signatures are expected to be on such key ?
If there are none (or maybe very few, especially if none links to
example.org administration), then would it be reasonable to argue that
this key can have been forged and the association with that domain is
an unverifiable claim ? I have no idea how it would legally fly, and
there is certainly a question of scale (enough individually
unverifiable but globally concordant claims become a globally convincing
picture).


Unrelated note: I find the rhetoric of a few posts in this thread
absolutely astounding. From a crypto question to red scare and "my army
is going to kick your country's ass if it dares talk to me" in two easy
steps ? This is vile.
