I think the PKI TC, as well as XKMS, would have material interest here,
yes.  We must ensure, however, that the actual _trust processing_ is out
of scope for this TC.  We simply need to provide mechanisms for
processing, depending on the the implimentation needs.

We must esp. be supportive of other public-key technologies, such as
(P|G)PG, where the open-source communities play an active role in
supporting.  

Actually, a couple of interesting, parrallel research is going on at
RDFweb [1] and some "kite-level" thoughs on related identity and trust
issues by Dr. Rohit Khare [2]
