Keyservers are officially out of the scope of the OpenPGP working group's
charter, last I heard. Jon Callas (author/editor of RFC 2440) suggested
that if there was interest, we start a working group on keyserver
behaviors. 

There are many issues too detailed to go into here that should be
formally addressed in regards to keyservers. If the keyserver
infrastructure does ramp up, I think that an RFC will be in order. Anyone
with the IETF here? Who would I talk to about forming such a WG? Is a
keyserver standard within the scope of the IETF?
