Signing probably makes most sense for official content that contains
specific data, dates, to register an official vote, etc.

The technology was probably only intended to be used in direct 1 to 1
exchanges like email.

Sometimes I get requests from vendors via email that require a
confirmation for a particular agreement. There is a document that they
request be signed.  In the not too distant past, I would print the doc,
add my signature, scan it, print it and fax it. Very time consuming.

When the fax device died (pc usb type), I would take a pictures of the
signed doc, copy the pic to the network and email the pic.

Since then, I've learned to sign the pdf version of the doc and email it
back.

But a pgp signature would be even simpler and faster.
