Sure. But this thread is simply trying to see whether some minimal  
assistance from the signer might be useful for helping any geek who was  
mad enough to try reversing the changes. For sure there will such exist  
geeks out there somewhere - but I don't expect such reversing to become  
normal standard practice.
