My only concern is to ensure we're not prescriptive to a
verifier. Anywhere we say "reject" probably should be changed to
"treat as unsigned" as long as there is no implication one way or the
other as to what a verifier does with that "is verified" or "is not
verified" knowledge.

Similarly, there should be no "accept" language.

In general, verifier actions are out of scope.
