     4.3.  Usenet Signature Convention

RFC 3676 § 4.3 seems to be documenting an existing convention. (IM(ns)HO) It does not /define/ nor /specify/ the convention.

At most it is an acknowledgement ~> acceptance of an existing convention defined / specified elsewhere.

I'm hoping that someone can provide an authoritative source for where the convention is defined / specified.

     4.5.  Quoting

I don't see how RFC 3676 § 4.5 is germane, safe for the fact that a soft line break is part of the conventional signature separator as described in RFC 3676 § 4.3.
