I think we could come up with a plausible distinction between forwarders
that expand role accounts and mailing lists, but I also don't see how
it would be of much use to verifiers so I agree it should go.  As I understand
it, our main defence against replay is that replayers can't sign as the
address they're replaying from so the chain is broken.

Again, I could see a plausible definition as don't modify anything
important, where important has the Potter Stewart definition.*  At
this point I'm not sure whether that would be useful.
