Perhaps the first "bite" should therefore be Section 9 (Time Evolution 
of Signatures)? Does it make sense to separate this from the rest of the

Perhaps we should draw up a list of tests where implementations 
disagree, and identify which of those inconsistencies can be attributed 
to unclear specifications?
