To the extent that the above is not sufficiently clear:
The SSP specification needs to be modified to remove all directions
for recipient actions, instead limiting itself to statements about the
actions of a potential signer.

The specification needs to allow the signer to say what he would *like*
the verifier to do.
So what SSP currently says is about right (though one might argue over
specifics, like the role of Sender:). The real problem is the way the
current draft *describes* thing that are merely advice from the signer to
the verifier. From that POV, it is a shambles, and until it has been
rewritten more coherently, we have no chance at all of agreeing upon it.
