I think that the bodyhash thing in this context is a side-issue.
Isn't the main thing here that we need to figure out:-

- what base needs to say about cases where a message containing
   >1 signature is presented for verification, noting that that
   could happen for alg. agility reasons or else because some list
   s/w, or some otherwise odd MTA, added its own signature to an
   already signed message

- whether base needs to have any mandates or guidance for signers
   who want to add a signature to an already-signed message they
   receive (note the above doesn't exclude the advice being "don't
   do it"), and if so, then what (e.g. some ideas about signing a
   few list related headers were batted about previously)

- what guidance the overview (assuming the current charter
   deliverables) ought include for mail list administrators, including
   stuff related to both of the above points

Stephen.
