The document seems to assume that the message ranges covered by
different Signature Blocks don't overlap -- is this intentional?
(If it is, it should be explicitly mentioned.)

(One obvious approach to redundancy would be to send Signature Blocks
covering an overlapping "sliding window" of messages, instead of
resending an identical signature block multiple times. But that
would require allowing overlap.)

Overlap of sliding windows is a feature, not a bug. If anything, we should reverse the polarity on your comment and more explicitly mention its utility.
