Ahh, now that's a different question. I haven't seen such a form in user
docs, but I've seen something along those lines in specifications
(requirements, design, functional) on a signoff page, but it's not just the
QA engineer who signs off on the spec...it's the SW or HW project manager,
lead developer/engineer, development/design manager, QA/Test manager, and a
host of other managers. The signoff page is usually located close to the
front cover so that if a customer under an NDA agreement has access to the
spec, he/she can see that it's been signed off by management and probably
represents a valid, current, accurate spec (to the level that the spec is
being offered).
Hope this helps...

Thanks, but what I wanted to know, and perhaps didn't word it right, is: "Is
this a standard thing in hardware documentation?"
Do you know?
