RE: XML Signature

Prateek/Hal,

	Thanks for the input. I am, as we speak, putting together a document with
some rationale for these questions. Also plan to talk with SF.

cheers

  |Here is a starting point:
  |
  |(1) Do we need to support all
  |    three forms of signing? Detached, enveloping and enveloped
  |
  |(2) Do we need to support all the varied forms of the
  |<KeyInfo> element?
  |
  |(3) What is the relationship between a signed response and
  |the assertions contained within the response? Under what
  |circumstances should the "super-signature" apply to the embedded
  |assertions. Similar questions arise for requests.
  |
  |I had initiated some discussion in the general vicinity of (3)
  |in
  |http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200106/msg
