Prior to the policy requirements, there were several supporting this concept of "strict". There is a need for more than just an assertion that "all messages are signed." Making an assertion that "all messages are signed" might mean only messages with invalid signatures should be introduced by services known to damage signatures. This would be an incorrect assumption when dealing with commerce related transactions from a heavily phished domains. The need for this added assertion is already found in Eric's latest SSP draft.

Two assertions are required when all messages are initially signed. Otherwise the partial information of "all messages are signed" may induce improper handling. This would be especially true when sources known to damage signatures are used to enable exceptions.

To avoid improper handling two assertions must be allowed:

1 ) All messages are signed.
2 ) Services that might damage the signature are avoided.
