This is orthogonal to the signing issue. 
A downloadable package Web app could still be signed by the developer himself.
What Boris was hitting at is the overhead of Marketplace/Appstore where people 
need to go through a series of step before being approved for distribution.

Here it's about making sure a user can download (or use online) an app and 
knowing it is not a fake app but the one that the developer has been releasing.

The update issue is another one, which is about 
1. how do I make sure that two version of the same packaged app can run side by 
side. 
2. how do I make sure that I don't want to be upgraded to the new version 
without me asking for this upgrade.

Two important use cases.
