[In New Jersey, where we do some of our work, not even a stamp will do -- a signature and crimp-type
raised seal is required for such things, so there's no CAD-related issue at all. But I like the
Xref approach where applicable, *if* you can prevent some user from binding the Xref'd stamp along
with whatever else they might bind in, such as a title block.]

That seems a simple common-sense approach. Trying to make it happen magically per the OP is probably
somewhere between impossible and way more trouble than it's worth.
As per another thread, state laws vary, but a PE seal within a dwg file probably has no legal
validity anyway, unless it's supplemented by some sort of secure digital "signature."
In my state, nothing but an original seal and signature will count for any purpose which requires a
seal. If anyone ever pressed the point, I don't think it would ultimately matter whether the
representation of the seal came from a rubber stamp or an Acad drawing. The kicker is that the seal
isn't valid until it has an origial signature on top of it. Most jurisdictions expect to see this in
a contrasting color, such as blue ink.
