Sadly I think we still have to respect folks that are worried about the extra 
crypto operations on the pledge. Particularly given the size/complexity of a 
CMS signature. IF we’d gone with a jwt/cwt signature I’d be more open to “just 
sign everything”. 

I respect the desire to forward the unsigned request “for consistency” but 
disagree. My reasoning is that the unsigned request is *not signed* and 
therefore can NOT provide any value to the MASA. As such including it in the 
messages is simply additional overhead and opportunity for a MASA to mess up 
and, for example, use the nonce from it even if the Registrar doesn’t want a 
nonce (or other weird bugs that would be difficult to notice until they were a 
pain).
