The phrase "the value is opaque" could be interpreted to mean that it
MUST NOT have any easily-discerned relationship to other things. So any
message with an Author Signature (as defined in ADSP) would be in
violation of the base spec. If it said "the value MAY be opaque" that's
probably reasonable.
