I am unfortunately Solaris-impaired: IPS publisher?  If you could
provide a sentence or two explaining this (preferably in the same
general format/wording as the other sections), I'd appreciate it greatly.

D'oh, yes.  Although I don't know if they support inline signatures yet.
 I know they support PGP/MIME (rather obsessively) and that inline
signatures have been a requested feature, but I'd need someone to
confirm the status there -- as well as whether it supports GnuPG 1.4 or 2.0.

A good point.  I'll introduce it, but for now I'm going to leave the
overall numbering intact -- reorgs should take place once the document
is stable, not while there's still churn.  :)
