So is it accurate to say that if I fetch a key with a uid of the form
"Ben Wizner <pugnacious at aclu.org>" with a valid signature from you,
and I tsign all your uids with full trust and depth 1, I should see
"full" validity on that key whether I have specified the domain as
"aclu.org" or left it blank?
