This *is* the strategy that most people use for PGP.

You are entitled to maintain whatever local policy for signing you want: but,
it weakens your position in a web of trust if your signatures are 'weaker' than
other peoples. It means any trust path that flows through a signature of yours
is suspect.

GPG lets you choose a 'trust level' for keys. I'd suggest at least using a
low-level value for keys you haven't validated.
