Better you should lobby the vCard maintainers to define "message integrity suggestion" fields, so your vCard can include a key fingerprint and preferred server. The vCard is already attached to your message -- we don't need another copy in the key. Finding out more contact information for you is an identity question, not an authentication question. The key need contain only information which helps us to bind it to its owner, such as an email address or a small photo. That some of the information on a vCard can be used for such purposes is incidental; that's not what it's for, and what it's for is not what keys are for. Packing too many different kinds of information into a single service is a kind of overoptimization. Better to build several clean, simple, well-defined services and let clever people figure out new combinations of data as they have need. Then they can just join records across the services holding what they need for a custom view of the available data which accomplishes their purposes. - -- Mark H.
