" If it has a valid first party signature, it passes. If it doesn't, it doesn't." If the value of the valid signature states that 3rd party signers are not admissible it does impugn the validated first party signature. So should the first party remove 3rd party signatures? Or should the text read

The second clause is only trying to make explicit that a third party signatures is not an acceptible substitute for a first party signature from that domain. Which it isn't. You're making a leap that it should also cast a shadow on the first party signature. The text definitely does not say that, and it was not the intent since we were purposefully dancing around the multiple signature question. If it has a valid first party signature, it passes. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
