It's actually quite simple, certainly more simple than what you proposed.
And it's totally client-side and already coded, so it's certainly
more easy to implement. Here's how you insert a key, from a user's
perspective:
java Freenet.client.KeyIndexClient -insert keyindex -key key
For instance, KeyInsertClient -insert test-index -key freenet:KSK@test-key
You can also do KeyIndexClient -list keyindex to get a list of keys from
an index.

You still don't understand the mechanism. There is no key server. It's
just a bunch of files in Freenet. The "keyindex" parameter is just a name
you make up. For instance, "sites" is a good name for an index which
contains keys pointing to freesites. And "steve" is a good name for an
index which you submit things to if you want them to show up on Steve's
Key Index.
