-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Now that I've sent my last post saying {{mirror}} wasn't a good example, I see where it's being used. The problem doesn't seem to be in using signatures containing pipes in templates, but in tables, where pipe is a delimiter.

From an editor's point of view, I don't see that there's a lot of point in whacking a signature in a template. If one wishes to sign a tag, then place the tildes after the template call, as normal.
From a developer's point of view, I don't see that there's a lot of point worrying too much about what signatures do and don't work with - we aren't under any obligation to support fancy signatures with 30-odd lines of HTML, CSS and whatnot.
