I have addressed key transparency in the post :) Key transparency does help with detection (still requires trusting third parties or having to check yourself) but the proposed protocol makes it not possible to forge the mapping to begin with.

Not quite :) also addressed in the post. look at the end of "The CA of all CAs " section.
