I am not sure if it is good to apply the robustness principle on
security functions. In those cases it might be better to be defensive
and reject signatures not following the recommendation.

In this case if the ByteRange does not cover the whole document there
could be parts of the document that can be modified without invalidating
the signature. Would it then be good to tell the user that the signature
has been validated and the document is not modified even though in fact
there are parts of the document for which we don't know?
