This is not always how the real world currently works.  For example, 
zillions of business agreements are made by just faxing signature pages of 
emailed documents and those arrangements are legally binding.  Archived 
contracts do not normally include the entire set of relevant statutes, 
etc.

Be careful about asserting what problem must be solved.
