Well, not always, anyway; but they might do their best to see that the
document (along with the signature) is destroyed.
So {qI'} is the physical act of actually *signing* the treaty, rather than
the more abstract act of becoming affected by a treaty? I had leant more
towards the second definition, and I'd assumed that the actual act of
signing would be given by <ghItlh>.
