  ? supporting multiple signatures on single messages


Humm... not sure about this one. If verifiers only supported a single signature it would be wise for signers to strip out any existing signatures before re-signing. That would cause the loss of "potentially" useful data wouldn't it? But, come to think of it, old signatures don't verify (otherwise, why resign the message at all) and what is the practical use of a non-verifiable signature. You can't make any definitive decisions based on broken signatures can you?

It's perfectly possible to have multiple unbroken signatures over a
given message. That's what we want to preserve.
