Which is exactly what I do already, using a key with "MFPA <a at b.c>" as
its sole User ID.

I also want people who already have an email address for me (or
potentially a name, if not too common) to be able to use that as a
search string to find my key from a server.

To achieve the two simultaneously would need some string in the UID
that could be found by searching for the email address or name but
could not be converted back to that search string.
