yes, that's true; but here we've been talking about attacks that don't
require stealing of the key (e.g. taking a signed message and placing it
in another context).  if you sign context-dependent messages as a matter
of course, then it's trivial for me to replay one of those messages and
have it imply an entirely different meaning.  Is this a desirable outcome?
