NRS knows which transactions r created manually and which r created by SCs. API won't be able to return signature for SC-generated transactions so it's easy to distinguish them. Smart contracts won't have ability to "see" what transactions r manual and what r SC-generated though.

Question remains: why should I not be able to create a block that includes a transaction without a signature so that I can pretend that it was created by an SC. (maybe, in order to harm an SC account by drawing its funds, or because SC transactions are cheaper, etc.)

Why it should be visible? We can add this feature, but we can't remove it once added.

Coz blocks can't include transactions without signatures.

So, what happens to SC transactions? They have no signatures, so they will not included in a block?

They don't need to be included into a block, the transactions can be restored via SC execution.

So, no materialization? Hmmm. Not sure if that is efficient. Maybe, I am wrong. You should talk to JL about that.
