Just recently there has been a new activity to take up again the work
started with the draft you mentioned. The problem yet to be solved was how
to store multiple keys for one directory entry and how an LDAP server can
function as PGP keyserver. NAI has implemented such a thing already, see
http://www.nai.com/products/security/public_keys/lookup_key.asp.

There will be a discussion at the next IETF meeting whether to take this up
as a new task for the openpgp working group. 


Cheers,
Peter
