Joe,
Having "SOAP" authorities is certainly an important part of trust,
however informal trust mechanisms are also proving quite robust. The
point is that the consumer selects their trust authority (meta trust?).
Understanding the chain of trust and dependencies for a resource is
something the infrastructure can help with.

I don't think users are going to have the experience necessary to
establish their own selection criteria, and crowd comments should be
left to blogs. Back in the olden days of the Interpedia project [1],
this was "solved" by... (05)
... several independent "Seal-of-approval" (SOAP) agencies
were envisioned which would rate Interpedia articles based on
criteria
of their own choosing; users could then decide which agencies'
recommendations to follow. (06)
The basic issue came up on the mailing list that there were likely to be
different interpretations of historical events, and some of those will
be considered more "true" than others. All interpretations were
welcome, but there would be some SOAP that show that some were
"approved". Your view of the Interpedia could be limited to only show
you those articles that had some specific seal, or were "blessed" by
another group in a "web of trust". (07)
In the end, the project never left the planning stages and finally
died,
taken over by the explosive growth of the World Wide Web. (08)
There were implementations of many of the ideas, but was tough working
around limitations of the Gopher protocol. (09)
