Sorry for hitting the whole list with this but I haven't gotten a
response back from the E-Mail address in question.  I only sent the
query out early yesterday afternoon so that's not wholly surprising.

What appears to be a "role key" was submitted to the ALE Keysigning
Party.  Role keys are normally fine but the rules tend to be a little
different for verification, if the owner of that key wants them signed.
Usually, some proof of ownership (such as corporate papers for corporate
keys) or proof of authority is usually required.  As one poster
mentioned, they only sign such keys with pseudonyms if they have a real
uid included on the key.  I'll have to think about that criterion, since
you can always edit a key to remove a uid (subject to my comments in
another message) I'm not totally sure I would trust that, but maybe.

IAC...  The key in question is 0x450F89EC <pause at pause.perl.org> as
follows:
