If not, don't you have to locate it? What I was saying that I see more often the reason to locate the signature to a given object > or at least we should allow for it. Suppose I make a statement that "The > document at www.xxx.com/PG is suitable reading for children". I This is fine, but I would rarely go and check your signature in such cases if I did not want to know about www.xxx.com in the first place. If I happen to find your signature laying around, I would not go off to check the page out of curiosity if your signature verifies or not. What I was aiming at was that the workflow would more often move from the document to the signature than the other way round. Peter
