[Evolution] Public keys in vCards



I'm wondering if I should open a bug for the following:

The vcard format specified by RFC 2426 includes a KEY field for a
person's public key. This does not appear to be supported by Evolution.
If it were supported there are a number of cool things that could be
done with it, or with a key fingerprint field. (I don't know if there's
a standard vcard extension for a key fingerprint, but this seems just as
useful given online key distribution.)

If either the KEY field or a key fingerprint field were supported, it
would be extremely useful for establishing trust. With a PDA, someone
could beam you their business card on, then you could sync with
Evolution. Evolution could promp you have a new key(or signature) and
ask if you really got it from the person who claimed to give it to you.
