Fair enough. So I guess that means that maybe including Frank's
suggested requirement text would be a good idea.

As he said it:

    "The protocol" MUST be either compatible with "resent mail",
    independent of the signing practices of a resending service,
    or explicitly explain why and when that's expected to fail.

In non-chair mode: either that, or the no-longer-there-#9, seem
not bad to me, in terms of making non-existent anti-signatures a
non-requirement. (Is that record number of negatives:-)
