I think this is just opposite of my preference:

NEW: An implementation MUST use the recognized query mechanisms in the
NEW: order presented.

This would allow for upgraded behavior while preserving backward compatability.


Why make this a must when the initial order can not be confirmed by the verifier?

This is ridiculous. Of course it can be confirmed by the receiver if the signature
verifies.
