Well, as soon as someone contributes a PGP/MIME capable plugin for a
specific mail client from a very specific company I am willing to say
that PGP/MIME might have a chance becoming a new standard (*).

In the meanwhile we should not use a rarely spread flag indicating the
use of keyservers to say "hey, I like PGP/MIME". I don't like hacks anymore.

Using a notation sounds ok for me.
