Appending the sig at rendering time appeals to me. Previous proposals to append the sig but only after "create" is pushed did not appeal to me (sorry, no time to explain ATM).

You'd lose the ability to see how my sig has changed over the years, but I find that an acceptable trade-off.

Best of all, it would prevent the frustration of super searching for information about the "Flort:Bangle" module and finding every single node by Tye because his stupid sig says "Flort::Bangle *rocks*!!" just because he wrote it.

The problem of backward compat is not trivial and may be enough to prevent this change happening. But this idea is really starting to grow on me.
