Hello Klaus,

The "cleanest" way I've seen this done is to have the raw HTML text
signed.  Then, as you mention - one only needs to view the source and
verify it.  The "-----Begin, etc.-----" will still be visible when one
views the raw text, but that's not really a problem, as it won't show up
when viewing the page in a browser.

Just be sure to sign the entire text (including the "<HTML>" and "</HTML>"
tags at beginning and end - not just what's within them).
