I had an editing tool kind of like you are describing in your post back in the old days, but since they added the signature stuff in the header thing it can't be used anymore. Basically, the MD5 values (2 if i remember correctly) are indeed to check the file, but there's also the "Signature", which they put in there to check if the file was not externally modified, because else you could just edit scenarios which people made read-only, or put your name as original creator, and all that.
