you mean like THAT VIEWERs OTR feature??
1 its badly broken anyway
2 it does not have a keyserver all keys are current session only (even
the logs are scrambled)
in this case no TPVP issues develop
Now in the case of a keyserver using protocol then exactly what is
being transmitted should be listed.

In the case of OTR http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ would be the best reference
