I think so too, mostly :)

I would dub what I proposed for algorithm rollovers 'reverse double signature'

Of course, though i rather see a circular dependency than an inter-rfc
inconsistency. I was thinking more of collaborative documents :)

Well, since I am the proud owner of the humble opinion that algorithm rollover
requires a substantially different method, I would personally like to see that
method covered as well.

Ah, now there may lie the (a?) problem. I was thinking of 4641bis as the
defining rfc (ie. what to do), and key timing as a mathematical description of
(some of) the methods mentioned in the former (ie. how to do it).
