The better question is: "Is it a useful term?" I consider this confusion a huge problem. I guess hardly anyone outside this list get these two concepts right. There is even an OpenPGP GUI which mixes up these two (claims to show trust but shows validity...). Using "trust" for both cases is probably the best way to ensure that normal users will never understand this. I strongly advise against the use of the term "trust" in a validity context. > If you don't like the term "trust a key" what else intuitive > terminology do you suggest?
