1. I suspect the syntax is the same, and certainly suspect we need not focus on
possible differences.

2. I think that the passive/active difference involves a superset/subset
relationship.  That is, I think that the active begins with the statements made
in the passive mode, about the sender/signer, but extends them to tell the
evaluator how to use those statements.

3. If #2 is correct, then my question is why the extended semantics are
essential?  What problems are created by not including them in the
specification?  What substantial benefits are obtained by including them?
