[Sks-devel] Why is it possible to generate such absurd data?

[Verioweb SKS]

Hello community,

as I was doing some data analysis on OpenPGP data on my node I was
surprised how much absurd data I was able to find after only a few
lookups, see for example:

0x923E174D7EEEAAD1
0xA199A4522E58A71C
0xE41ED3A107A7DBC7

Generating such data... OK, but why the hell is it possible to upload
this kind of nonsense data to our servers? Wouldn't it be appropiate to
implement a kind of validation after uploading keys before they reach
the database? What do you think?

Perhaps, it's something like that:
