Include the timestamp in the signature, and also in cleartext beside it.
That way, you can use the signature to verify the timestamp, and then
use the cleartext verified timestamp to make the policy decision about
how old a signature can be before it's rejected. This way, when you
reject a timestamp that's too old, you can log it accurately instead of
just logging "signature incorrect".
