These proposals from Peter have the merits of simplicity and clarity. I
like the idea of starting from this place, and allowing users to dig in
deeper if they want to.
We could do a much better job of facilitating keysigning to reflect
users' beliefs in a robust way as well, whether that's done with
non-exportable signatures from hidden signing keys or some other way.
This would make Peter's proposal even more usable for the novice user
and be convenient for experienced users too.
