Agreed. I think it might make sense to add a bit of text to all
the drafts in this space. Would something like the following be
useful to include in this and other similar drafts?

"This specification is one experiment in improving access to public keys
for end-to-end email security. There are a range of ways in which this
can reasonably be done, for OpenPGP or S/MIME, for example using the
DNS, or SMTP, or HTTP.  Proposals for each of these have been made with
various levels of support in terms of implementation and deployment.
For each such experiment, specifications such as this will enable
experiments to be carried out that may succeed or that may uncover
technical or other impediments to large- or small-scale deployments. The
IETF encourages those implementing and deploying such experiments to
publicly document their experiences so that future specifications in
this space can benefit."

Cheers,
S.

PS: Please note that this is separate from the lhs and other points
made about this draft.
