 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).
