[DCRM-L] signatures with *

[Mike Garabedian]

This certainly isn't DCRM SOP, but I just tried an experiment in MS-Word,
typing two asterisks, then formatting the second one as superscript. What
obtained was a smaller asterisk oriented slightly closer to the ascender
line.

My point is that even though * is above x-height, technically it's not
superscript,right?
