In our use case, OP will not touch the signed (by RP) contract proposal, 
as it would invalidate the RP signature.
OP just states what has been accepted, and sign those terms + RP signed 
contract proposal. As the result, the resulting contract has the 
signature of both party (to some extent.)

There can be another model such as:

(1) RP proposes contract template
(2) OP fixes on the terms and signes it and sends it to RP
(3) RP counter signs it and send it back to OP.

This is in concept more complete, but takes more round trips.
