DataPacRat,
...
The reasons you list are the ones behind why I included the
'Confidence' parameter in the Signed vCard spec. In fact, that
parameter is the key to the whole approach.
A similar proposal, adding qualitative metrics to the basic web of trust
model,
was the focus of a PhD thesis about 20 years ago, in France. It was not
a great
idea; trust is not transitive and adding numbers to the mix doesn't
change that,
although it can lead to considerable confusion for users.
