I think this is the future for encrypted messaging of all types. Ultimately the user needs some sort of conceptual model that will allow them to do reasonable things. Making the identity a thing in and of itself removes a lot of unneeded conceptual overhead. That is as opposed to the current practice of simply ignoring the identity issue and leaving the whole thing as a responsibility that the user has no idea of how to deal with.
