Ian Grigg's point in favour of armour is that clearsigned documents are
useful. Fair enough; Ian can buy/write an application which includes
this functionality. It does not need to be a MUST. As Adam just said, it
would be simple to do the same with MIME.

on the other hand, considerable community push-back on s/mime finally got
it to support clear signing, through support of multipart/signed.  The
market desire for this feature is rather high.
