A detail on the client side signing

[kuehne@trustable.de]

Hi all,

while discussing the client side signing issue someone came up with the demand of 'associating the request with info for the (human) signer' .

I would like to generalize this topic to the core. The client requesting a signature usually doesn't know which type of signer that will process the request. So it would be a good practice to add an additional signing atrribute containing some kind of info to enable a human signer to identify the request, generally.
 
Such an id info could also be useful in machine-only environmants to audit the signing process. So I would vote for adding such info to the core and not into an additional profile.

Greetings

Andreas
