WKD is a good step in providing a mechanism for key discovery, but if
automatically considering such keys valid (either directly or through
TOFU-model) you reduce the security to security of X.509 root
certificate PKIX, which many users trusts implicitly already so it is a
good simplification in many cases. That said I fail to see where keybase
comes into the picture, maybe you can elaborate a bit on that?
