Is it only me who thinks a signature packet should be a signature 
and not
a document, certificate, or whatever with signature?

I was just thinking the same thing myself.

Just think about those annoying s-mime sigs that are several times 
the
size of the message they are signing due to a bunch of irrelevant 
garbage
being stuffed into them.

I think it makes a sense if the signature packet should be a 
signature, so 
it wouldn't grow up infinitly, but then...
... I'm thinking how to authorize the signature packet itself if it 
is not signed.
Tell me if I'm wrong... 
(Im sorry if what I present here has been dropped before, 
Im new comer in this mailing list, so I didn't follow entire 
discussion that has 
been done).
