Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing it.

The signature includes a hash of the text, done at the browser so that the server does not have to see the content.

Ah, okay! Would you mind explaining what does "comparing wording, not exact text" mean?
It's a very poorly written way of saying that instead of storing your text it uses a hash of your text to sign. When you want to check the signature you only need to hash the text to check, again without touching the server.
I must agree that is quite poorly phrased
