The PGP feature that a key doesn't have to belong to the True Name of
an entity is a big plus in my book; otherwise, we'd have no Wonderer,
no deadbeat, and no S. Boxx.
It is, of course, worth noting that the PEM specs make explicit
provisions for aliases; it's just up to some issuing agency to
decide to issue them. And if no one wants to -- well, no one has
to sign an anXXXX address's key, either.
