I don't see much point in trying to couple DANE to PGP.

I don't care about sending mail to  cypherpunks.ca <[email protected]>, I
care about sending it to Paul Wouters.

Except in very rare instances where an individual controls the domain or if
I am sending to an enterprise, the domain is going to be pretty much
irrelevant to authenticating the key.


Locking down the mailserver key with DANE makes prefect sense. In fact that
is the only reason I can see to do DNSSEC right now.
