+1 for removing both <font> and the signature.

If it is decided to keep <font> and to require a document signature, the
signature belongs in the doctype declaration and should be specified in
section 8.1.1.

I agree that "transitional", a term familiar from earlier versions of HTML,
would be a better signature.
