I like this, it definitely is another piece in the puzzle for making PGP usable.
If PGP was easy to use from the beginning, HTTPS wouldn't be nearly as important. PGP could handle the encryption of sensitive data, and validate integrity of non-sensitive data, but nothing else would really be needed for small-file encryption. We'd still need keyservers in some capacity, but so long as every secret can be encrypted and all content validated, the transport mechanism becomes far less important.
