This should be "Servers should remove invalidated signatures". However,

a signature has been invalidated.



If there's any doubt about whether support for signatures is required -- James says yes, and Bjoern says no -- we need to be clearer in the publishing protocol document. Otherwise, a server implementor could decide that "since I don't sign entries I don't need any code to handle signatures".

I was just going to note that *if* we make it mandatory to do something wrt signatures, we need to reference xml-dsig & friends as normatively. Turns out, we already do. Is this really intended & correct?
