That being said, I agree with you that from the point of view of a 
denial-of-service prevention, that we should be recommending that 
implementations "Skip out" after a failed signature verification. When I read 
the text in "Step III" on page 29 within Section 5.2, I interpret that text as 
indicating that implementations should skip the remaining signatures once they 
get a failed signature verification. If you interpret that text differently, 
please let me know, but in my reading of the document, I understand the 5.2 
algorithm as saying implementations should "skip out" when a signature is bad.

WG] I agree with your interpretation. As Randy pointed out, this is probably a 
case of misinterpretation due to the fact that I'm not the target audience 
(implementers) and thus I missed something that would have been obvious to your 
target audience.

Thanks
Wes
