This is of particular danger when it comes to keyservers, since the key
information itself is usually considered as highly trustworthy.

Absolutely not.  Keyservers are wide open public repositories.  They
can, and do, contain arbitrary garbage.  Users should only trust
material that they can verify through signatures or direct contact.

Moreover, clients should only be generating well-formed URLs
for key lookups.  What am I missing?
