I don't understand what you're trying to say here...

So, if I understand correctly, you're saying that there's a huge
usability and functionality difference between:
unset signature
and
set signature="~/.signoff-only"
?
I *do* generate my signature via a script. It looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
cat ~/.signoff-only
echo "-- "
getquote # my own personal fortune implementation
In some situations, when I don't want to attach a quote to my emails,
I use this:
set signature="~/.signoff-only"
That file contains:
~Kyle
I'm not understanding what the problem is that a separate "signoff"
variable addresses. Do you want to be able to change your signoff
independently of your signature, via hooks?
send-hook . 'set my_junk=`echo ~Kyle > ~/.signoff-only`'
send-hook '%C work' 'set my_junk=`echo Kyle Wheeler > ~/.signoff-only`'
~Kyle
