While waiting for Werner or David; I'll share what I "know" about PKA in
1.4.3cvs:

    * Implemented Public Key Association (PKA) trust sub model.  This
      is an optional trust model on top of the standard ones.  It makes
      use of special DNS records and notation data to associate a mail
      address with an OpenPGP key. It is by default not used.  To use
      it you need to set the new option --allow-pka-lookup and an
      appropriate trust-model.  Also added new keyserver option
      auto-pka-retrieve which is enabled by default but only working
      if --allow-pka-lookup is also used.
