Well this is going to depend on how the signatures are being used.

precisely.  This means that it is useless to define specific semantics in
a format description since user agents following the trivial variant of
displaying _all_ signature integrity information to the user behave
optimally.

Well curently there is no format at all for creating parallel signatures. This 
should be documented in the ID. What the users do with those parallel 
signatures is another matter that should be left to the application and is 
outside the scope of an ID.
