I'd say that if you are out to generalize, there is a general
problem of SPAM.  Why not solve that instead? 1/2 :-)

Seriously, I think that effectively removing contact information
from the database is much too similar to sawing off your foot at
the knee because you have an itch in one of your toes.

I mean, how long will it take before all and everyone needing
(out of policy) or wanting to have their contact information
publically available to install an auto-filter which will toss
messages with "unknown" digital signatures ("of *any* kind"?)???
I think it'll be easier and quicker to deal with the SPAM problem
itself before we get there.

Besides, the contact information also currently serves as a means
for anyone to get in touch with the domain holder or the technical
administrator of the domain, in conjunction with e.g. security-
related events (yes, I know, it's maybe not fully reliable, but what
else is there?), and those messages, even if they were digitally
signed, would probably come from an "unknown" key-holder.

In all, I have serious misgivings about this general idea of
removing contact information from the database.
