Who should sign a black belt cert (or equivalent)?

He also mentions his students sign his rank certs as well.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
Should students be asked to sign off on their instructor's rank promotion?
Should people from "Art A" certify the promotion rank of someone in "Art B"?
Should a BB that is more junior to the person being promoted sign off on black belt promotions? Example...should a 6th degree sign off on the promotion of a person from 7th to 8th?
