So long as the standard explicitly referenced that external
document describing why you might want to do certain things in a
certain order, I would have no problem with that. But for a
standard to talk exclusively about things like seperable signing
and encrypting without discussing (somehow) the various
interactions, would be a mistake from an
implementation/interoperability standpoint (IMHO).
