David,

If there is a large global public key ring generated as an artifact of
manageing the CORE db, it would be in the best interst for this to be
published and searchable via a trusted third party. IMHO any information
used by CORE should have some type of WHOIS interface into the repository
that is publicly available.

To limit the interactive availablity of this information only to the
regestries, would IMHO be a disservice to the community at large.
There is truely no good reason to prevent the folks that run the CORE db
from publishing this type of information interactively.

In your design, the end-user must have a published public key to have a domain
deligated? I feel this may be a bit unreasonable.
