Returning to Larry's question this is the point where I want my fingerprint on my Fedora business card ... to make this exchange not require me writing it down or printing it out or anything else. We meet, we confirm identities using birth certificates and 15 forms of other identification including 6 with pictures (or whatever *you* feel is necessary beyond the stated expectation as described here and elsewhere), and you take my business card. It makes my life at a keysigning party that much easier and it makes the signer's life easier later when signing the keys too.
