What happens if you have more than one signature? I don't see it as
any cleaner and in fact it looks like it adds complexity to me.
I'm assuming the complexity is associating the signature data
with the meta-info data. If the header fields are the same
name, their proximity together determines what goes with what.
I believe Ned stated in the past that re-arranging of same-named
header fields does not happen, or is extremely rare.
I don't understand what is to be gained, and I see a lot of
extra processing, complexity, and chances for unexpected
behavior... for as far as I can see aesthetics. (aesthetics
that I don't share, fwiw).
