What is intended by this statement? How does this relate to messages
signed by an MUA, which is not mentioned as a possible signer? Is
this statement intended to preclude the use of MUA signed messages?
(Use of the word "key" appears to be a poor choice of words.)
If a MUA is the signer I would hope it is within its own
administrative
domain. I haven't seen one yet that was outside of its own domain.
Administrative domain is not a separately defined term. This
definition is attempting to indirectly define an administrative
domain. The private key with an MUA represents an administrative
domain? The signer terminology is better clarified when defining
these terms separately.
