I'll add another $0.02 to say that I think it is useful to
allow for a directory of public keys instead of a single
file.

If done, I might also suggest that ssh ignore all files in
that directory except for those which end in '.pub', just
to make it clear that the file should be the "public key"
and not the private one.
