A good idea, but could you tell a forged passport apart from a real one?
I'm sure that I couldn't.  Likewise for other forms of ID, I couldn't
tell a real one from a good fake, and I'd have no way to verify a real
ID.

Though I seriously doubt that most of use would be using gpg in a way
that required such a level of personal identify assurance.
