Yep. My recollection was- the (signed) Date: header would get further in the 
past the longer a replay is used, which would/could be a sign of misbehavior- 
the message body would still be immutable, and thus subject to bulkiness 
detection (for instance tracking the signature's occurrences)- the signing 
domain still would have responsibility for the message, which we 
assumed/guessed/predicted would be useful in reputation systems.
