It should be noted that there are other shores of the cultural gulf,
models wherein an entity's public identity /is/ the sum total of the
signed Internet publications of that entity.  Face-to-face meetings
are irrelevant, as are "plausible ID", web of trust, and multitudes of
signatures.  When two entities want to establish secure communication,
only then do they exchange public keys (for example by email), and
verify their respective archives of the other's publications against
the just-acquired public keys.
