In general, I dont think we _need_ to have a signed application test for 
every unsigned application test. Some tests may not make much sense in a 
trusted application context. And I dont know if doubling the number of 
our tests (assuming we have a signed test for every unsigned test) is a 
great idea.

That said, we certainly will need to add (at least some) signed 
application tests - either when bugs are found, or we are implementing 
some new features.

Personally, I prefer the second approach which makes the test behaviour 
more explicit. I agree that it keeps things more obvious (but at the 
cost of some duplication).
