draft-iab-rfc-use-of-pdf-01 says:

  Recommendation: At this time, the authors see no need for Internet-
  Drafts to be signed with a PDF digital signature.

The IETF Secretariat currently signs all I-Ds.  See RFC 5485.

It seems to me that the decision to sign I-Ds should be left to the IESG and IETF Secretariat.  I suggest that this be removed from the document.
