This is a grand idea and I hope you will receive widespread support.
But I would like to ask you to do me (and others) the favour to interprete
the RFC-2440 (OpenPGP-Standard) in a way that the number of unsigned
packets in signatures is definitely zero. This would be the way one
would think of a signature in the non-digital world anyway.

Good luck,
