Aha!  That's a sending-side use case that's clearly different from the 
receive-side use cases I listed yesterday.

That kind of signing would prevent using i= for social networking, because 
even if Grandma pays for the account (and thus the user_id roughly 
identifies her), drunken Uncle Ernie lives in the basement and sponges off 
her AOL subscription, and they'd both have the same i= value.
