As much as I fear we are becoming awash in email functional module names, I 
suspect your suggestion is the only reasonable choice here.

I've come to view this example as "a function that can be placed within any 
module that is part of a particular Adminstrative Domain (trust domain)."

So, signing is expected to be done somewhere inside the Originating ADMD and 
validation within the Receiving ADMD.
