Comment (by darij):

 To follow the conventions we currently have, your Hopf algebras should be
 called "Hopf superalgebras" or "super-Hopf algebras". Symmetric functions,
 as well as most other combinatorial Hopf algebras we currently have,
 cannot inherit from that class, due to them satisfying the sign-free
 bialgebra axiom. (Unless we double their degrees, but that is a totally
 new can of worms and incompatible with existing combinatorial literature.)

 John: Please see almost any paper on combinatorial Hopf algebras for an
 example of signless graded Hopf algebras being used. See, for example,
 Theorem 3.8.3 in http://preprints.ihes.fr/2006/M/M-06-40.pdf , or
 Proposition 4.4 in http://home.gwu.edu/~wschmitt/papers/iha.pdf , or
 Theorem 5.6.4 in Radford's "Hopf algebras", or Example 2.3 in
 http://www.math.cornell.edu/~maguiar/a.pdf . Generally, I rarely see
 people double a `ZZ`-grading to make an even object work with the Koszul
 rule; instead they usually drop the Koszul sign rule. IMHO it is also not
 a good idea to require `Z`-graded superobjects to have their `Z`-grading
 refine their `Z/2`-grading.
