    Absolutely not.  Keyservers are wide open public repositories.  They
    can, and do, contain arbitrary garbage.  Users should only trust
    material that they can verify through signatures or direct contact.
    
    Moreover, clients should only be generating well-formed URLs
    for key lookups.  What am I missing?
