Bug Description
ssh-import-id only writes to ~/.ssh/
It should support taking an argument for output, and should also support *not* trying to validate the keys.
The reason to not try to validate is that it is possible ssh may accept some keys that ssh-import-id considers invalid, leaving you in a state where ssh-import-id is not useful to you.

A option for disabling key validation is fine, but in cases where ssh-import-id's validate function fails, I'd like to see those filed as specific bugs and get those fixed in the key validation.
