"Should generate and store a
digital signature for each
electronic record." See 6.8.6.6.2 as well, whichpropagates this requirement.

recommend that this be
reworded "..should generate
and store a digital signature
that is derived from the
electronic record."

The intention is to make sure
that all electronic records have
been signed and the
requirement should not
constrain the vendor's solution
by assuming that electronic
records are stored individually,
rather than in a block.
