Of course, one of there roles could be "verification" of the press release, i.e. Emulex signs it, and rather than having to have 985,234,003 keys on my key ring to verify every press release I read, the News Service can sign the whole thing saying "we witness that this press release was signed with the proper key"..

Couldn't software automatically check releases against a key given by a URL? (Skipping the problems with DNS, etc.) But yeah its always good to have human reputations on the line, too.
