I think it is, as the proposal says:
'The proposal of the present document is to use PGP keys ... This will allow
the trust data storage to piggyback on the existing network of SKS
keyservers, achieving instant "distributed storage" mechanism with minimal
investment in infrastructure'
In other words, the proposal suggests to make use of resources donated by
the community for one cause, *to save investments* in realising a different
cause, without asking our permission. This by itself is a very bad thing
IMHO. (The question of Daniel F was about comments on the scheme, not about
permission to use our network.)
