ID's, Length of Relationship,Key Fingerprint verification etc. are all just individual methods of determining Who has control of a Key. The WoT is only conferred based upon the 'Depth of Trust' conferred with the Signature. PGP refers to this as 'Trusted Introducer' [Black Pencil] and GnuPG displays this 'depth' with a numerical notation. Basic 'Exportable' Signatures [0x10, Yellow Pencil] are as common [& useful] on a Key as a pocket full of business cards after returning from a convention.
