If I had been the one designing the armour format, and I had thought of this
little detail, I'd have named the three headers something like:

- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
...
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
...
- -----END PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Seems to come out better and avoiding any confusion. But it's nitpicking. And
it suggests the signature is part of the message :).
