I don't think it really was called out anywhere very prominently, or at
least not until the section on signatures later. Since this came first, I
thought I'd try and say whatever we wanted to say with some boilerplate text
in the schema definition section.

The part I was trying to emphasize was that if you don't sign, that doesn't
mean you can't get integrity some other way.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Scott
