It seems to me that the goals and mechanisms of the in-lining spec are very
similar to those of the "Magic Envelope" which is defined in the
Salmon<http://www.salmon-protocol.org/>Magic Signatures specification.
http://salmon-protocol.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draft-panzer-magicsig-00.html

I suggest that we try to see if Magic Envelopes can be used in this context.
Using them would increase consistency across implementations while also
providing a way to independently sign in-lined content.
