Well, there is a way to find out whether it works. Those who care deeply about this should get together, raise some capital, and open NerdBank(tm) where they can do business their way, and see how it goes. There's plenty of room right now for people who want to reimagine the retail banking business, so long as they still keep depositors' money safe and deal it out as ordered.
I'm actually more interested in the local bank as portal to certificate services. Actually going physically to the issuer and presenting, face-to-face, identifying documents that might actually be slightly difficult to steal or forge, is not something that most people can realistically do with the current crop of CAs. Long-distance relationships in the security realm make trust difficult, in both directions. None of this has a great deal to do with OpenPGP or GnuPG as such. -- Mark H.
