It seems like a good start, however, it currently does not say too much on  
what the browser has to do. The document explains authors how they can  
make use of it.

For instance, does the browser actually check the Content-Type of the form  
submission response? How does it parse the response? How does the browser  
need to sign subsequent requests?

(Now I see you need Apache configuration for various things this feature  
seems quite a bit more complicated than I anticipated. I knew it was  
important to support it, but never actually played with it so far.)
