  The FSF wants legal documentation so they can prove that it is in the
  public domain - just in case the author has second thoughts later, I
  guess.

Or if the author's employer claims that something was a work for
hire.  That's the point of the employer-disclaimer, which is separate
conceptutally from the copyright assignment.  So for PD code this
still applies; it's arguably only really PD if the person who said so
was the copyright owner, so a signed statement from the author that
it's PD and from employer (anyone who might have a work-for-hire
claim) disclaiming copyright interest should do, at least
conceptually.

IANAL, TINLA, blah blah blah.
