Honestly, I really doubt that that will ever be adopted.
Personal SSL certs from a known and trusted authority, maybe.
The ring of trust mechanism at the heart of GPG, if done properly, is a

using it to elect the government? And how many certs/keys do you think have been
signed without proper checking?
