Altering the *real* UserID material is probably not a good
idea. However, you can do a lot on the presentation layer. A keyserver
could allow searching for e-mail addresses (even with substring
search) but not *display* them (or display them in a mangled way).

This helps prevent "tree walking" because knowledge of the content
would be required to retrieve it.
