It's needed for Twederation to prevent injection of spoofed spam. I will add that someone will object that in Twederation there is no danger because you are *pulling* all tiddlers. But in reality, in a shared environment involving more than say 10 users, you do not want to have to check and verify *all* the traffic that you may be pulling into your system. Having a system that approves tiddlers based on proven, trusted signatures would allow node traffic to continue even if you have a busy day and can't look at every incoming tiddler immediately.
