I'm not sure what protocol here is, but you and I and several others met 
face to face in edinburgh and could at least weakly identify you. Maybe 
we can sign with a low level of trust for now, and improve it when we

I think Peter needs to trust your key, ultimately, so I think it's up to 
him for what criteria he will personally trust.
