OK, I'm backing off of my statement that it is too late to deal with
this. Thank you to the people who pointed out that this is directly
related to Russ' concern about interop of canonicalization. You are
right, and I was being too narrow-minded.
Does anyone object to the following exact wording being added right
after the new paragraph on canonicalizing:
Intermediaries such as aggregators may need to add an atom:source
element to an entry that does not contain its own atom:source element.
If such an entry was signed, the addition will break the signature.
Thus, a publisher of individually-signed entries should strongly
consider adding an atom:source element to those entries before signing
them.
