When you work in compliance mode it should be IHMO possible that people
wishing to communicate with you (from foreign countries) and may have a
different opinion about privacy, GnuPG should accept such public keys,
without using extra parameters and that you can easily add them to your
key ring, with a simple label, thus not revealing the identity of them,
in case your computer or smartphone gets later compromised or is
searched at an airport etc.
