So one idea could be to also use the first offset when checking the
signature and in case it is not zero instead of return the status as
SIGNATURE_VALID say something like "SIGNATURE_PARTLY_VALID".

The pdfsig tool already implements support for multiple
signatures/"revisions" but it seems the API does not expose the
ByteRange for which the signature covers nor provides an other way to
obtain that revision of the document (?).
