I seem to have overlooked that part of the spec. Thank you. I'll use that
scheme.

I have no signature, quote, pgp key or silly phrases for the bottom of my
messages rigged into my news reader. The period followed by a space and
'Ed' is how I end my messages. The period then space is key as on some
systems it triggers that this will begin on a new line instead of being
automatically wrapped into the previous line. It is the same as I have used
on systems since '74 so is unlikely to change. If you must consider it a
signature then consider it to be something of the manner of a dot-Ed as a
foil to Microsoft's dot-Net (not that Microsoft or .Net existed then).
