PKI Strikes Again?

What you really proposes is an incarnation of X.509-based PKI. This haven't been deployed and it looks like it will never get globally deployed. I don't think that QIDs are the right way to go. Bad things happen and remedy of stolen identity and re-establishing good reputation may be extremely difficult with that. And government control of the QIDs may be a problem under some governments (as you yourself say in the other blog posts).
