It could be. It's certainly something concrete that a verifier can act
on. We merely need to describe the desired actions.

That presents the same sort of risks that -l does. I would must prefer
the list sign the whole content and the spec define the verifier
semantics when a 3rd party signature is seen with, eg, a List-ID
covered by the second signature.

If well defined, those semantics should be able to achieve the
functional affect of your suggestion without the risk of sending
unsigned material.


Mark.
