That is not fully true.  Only those need to use Enigmail that want to
use Namecoin themselves to verify keys.  The recipients don't need
Enigmail (but need to store their fingerprint in Namecoin by some
means, e. g., the Namecoin client), and there can also be other
implementations of the underlying "protocol".  Engimail would just be
the first one, since I think it is quite common (and what I use myself).

Ok, I acknowledge that.  Of course it would be even better (from my
point of view) to have this in GnuPG itself, but I thought that
Enigmail would be a more realistic place.  It seems that's not the
case, so I'll start a discussion with the GnuPG people in time.

Thanks for all the feedback so far!

Yours,
Daniel
