Signing - as I understand syslog-sign - goes beyong that. You could also say it serves a different purpose. -sign is about signature inside the messages that you can use to verify the correctness not only in transit but also years later in an offline copy. The details are not 100% technically correct, but I think it conveys the overall idea.
