    WSDL definitions - It seems to me that a stand-alone specification 
      should just define the semantics of its elements.  If an application 
      wants those semantics, then the application WSDL should specify the header 
      as being required.

    Add example.  Working Draft 3.  Page 21, Section 7.1, lines 
      644-648, recommends that <wsse:SecurityTokenReference> element 
      should be used as direct children of <ds:KeyInfo> elements to 
      retrieve signing and encryption certificate when using XML Signature and 
      XML Encryption. Although in section 8.4, there is a XML Signature example 
      for using <wsse:SecurityTokenReferences> element within the 
      <ds:signature>'s <ds:KeyInfo> element, there is no examples 
      provided to using SecurityTokenReference element for XML Encryption in 
      section 9. E.g., Section 9.2 does have a <wsse:KeyIdentifier> 
      contained within the <xenc:EncryptedKey> element. However, it does 
      not have the <wsse:securityTokenReference> element encapsulating the 
      <wsse:KeyIdentifier> as specified in section 7.3.

    Make URI attribute required.  Working Draft 3. Page 22, Section 
      7.2, lines 662, indicates that SecurityTokenReference/Reference/@URI is an 
      optional attribute. However, the corresponding XML Schema for WS-Security 
      core specification does not explicitly specify the the attribute "URI" of 
      the ReferenceType complex type as an optional attribute by use of 
      "use=optional". I suggest that the URI attribute be required rather than 
      be optional as stated on line 662.

    Working Draft 3. Page 26, Section 8.4, lines 852-856, indicates a 
      specifialized type of <ds:KeyInfo> element that although is 
      compatible with Section 7.1, I am concerned that the core specification is 
      silent on the subject of acceptability of processing a signature element 
      that uses an in-line X.509 data (representing, e.g., a signing 
      certificate). What processing behaiour is expected from WS-Security 
      compliant system that may receive a SOAP message that contains a signature 
      element in its SOAP security header, i.e., <wsse:security>, that has 
      a <ds:KeyInfo> element that does not contain 
      <wsse:SecurityTokenReference> element rather contains an in-line 
      X509 data pertaining to the signing cert? I think the specification needs 
      to clearl state that all <ds:KeyInfo> instances that contain in-line 
      cert data are also acceptable in addition to 
      <SecurityTokenReference> element option if indeed we are allowing 
      such in-line X509 cert data type of KeyInfo element be part of signature 
      elements. The motivation of using SecurityTokenReference is mostly in the 
      use case where the same signing certificate, for example, may be used to 
      generate multiple signature elements (i.e., when same signing cert is used 
      for signing multiple SOAP message parts) within a <wsse:Security> 
      header. Having specific wordings of minimum requirements of what a 
      SOAP/WS-Security sending and receiving application must support w.r.t. 
      KeyInfo elements will help in security interoperability tests.

    Sections 7.1 (beginning at line 617 of Draft 3 of the core) through 
      7.3 define the Security Token Reference Element, Direct References and Key 
      Identifiers. I find the use of these varying forms of references 
      confusing. Perhaps Direct References and Key Identifiers are the 2 forms 
      of STRs, but it looks like there is also a n elemental form of STR that is 
      neither a direct reference or a key identifier.

    The example in section 3.4 (line 278) seems to have been set up to do 
      a reference bywsu:id attribute value, although the reference is done by 
      URI where the value of theURI is the attribute value. Is this the prefered 
      use model? or would we expect a simpleSTR with a wsu:id value as apposed 
      to a Direct reference/URI to be used? The description of key identifiers 
      seems to imply that Direct references are theprefered form of reference, 
      and where they cannot be used a key identifier isrecommended.

    Section 6.1 Usernames  and Passwords, beginning at line 422, 
      defines the use of the <wsse:UsernameToken> element "as a way of 
      providing a username and optional password information". The definition of 
      this tokenmakes no mention of its potential value in defining the key to 
      supportthe signing or encryption of the attached SOAP message.  I 
      realize that the
core document is intended to serve as a framework, but 
      it seems less thanobvious from the description that these tokens could be 
      used to identifya signing (or encryption key); which perhaps is the most 
      significant usecase that features such tokens.

The example in 
      section 3.4  beginning at line 248,  seems to depict the useof 
      such tokens (as revealed by lines 299-300), as a means to carrya password 
      derived signing key. However, the importance of this example,warrants 
      further discussion in section 6.1.

    i) Lines 180 to 184: It is not clear to me whether this definition is 
      meant to describe a case of delegation where the client and sender are two 
      different entities or whether the sender is the channel acting on behalf 
      or a client.  From the definition on lines 217 to 223 it appears that 
      delegation is not intended.  Either way I believe this paragraph 
      should be clarified.

ii) Line 294: Should read Lines (005) to (009) 
      .

iii) Line 461: I believe that this line should read - "This 
      required element specifies the username of the authenticated party or the 
      party to be authenticated"  NOT "of the authenticating party."  
      A clarifying question - am I correct in believing that this specification 
      does not intend to prohibit the receiving party from using the username 
      and password to authenticate the client?

iv) Lines 534 & 535: I 
      believe that these lines should read " ... binary or XML tokens ..", not 
      just "binary tokens"

v) Lines 575 to 588: Are these lines needed 
      since we RECOMMEND that Exclusive Canonicalization be used?

vi) 
      Section 6.3.2:  We say in the WSS-SAML specification to use the 
      assertion id to reference SAML tokens, not to use the wsu:Id and license 
      id for XrML?  This section should state this and shouldn't

    Is it really appropriate to endorse a claim via encryption? Perhaps 
      line 209 in 3.1
should be changed to read: "that is digitally signed by 
      the authority."

Editorial comment - the word "unendorse" can be 
      misinterpreted as some sort of revocation.
I'd argue, remove it from 
      line 208 ("A claim can be endorsed by a trusted authority.") and
then 
      begin line 213 with "A claim may be trusted without explicit endorsement 
      if there is ..."

Editorial - line 362 in 4.2, spell out 
      "Post-Schema Validation InfoSet". I guess this last paragraph says that 
      for non-schema aware processors, support for wsu:Id is optional but 
      recommended? Wouldn't it be better to require support regardless of 
      implementation?

    General issue with the use of the "utility" namespace for defining 
      elements and attributes used in wsse. It has not been explicitly stated 
      anywhere that I am aware of that the WS-Security TC is responsible for 
      defining this namespace and its associated schema. WS-Security cannot just 
      presume the existence of the utility namespace schema.  ... If there 
      is an expectation that "utility" is to be a truly general Web Services 
      Utility namespace, then it may need to be defined by another TC with input 
      from other Web Services-oriented bodies. But then, again, WSS won't be 
      able to presume its existence at this time.

    [Section 4.2 and elsewhere] I do not see any value in using "wsu:Id" 
      when the base XML schema ID Type is available. This is especially true 
      since "wsu:Id" is simply defined in utility as just being of type 
      "xsd:ID".  I believe it can only lead to confusion (and minor 
      additional processing overhead). I recommend removing the use of wsu:Id in 
      vavor of the base xsd:ID.

    Proposal for processing rules.  It seems that for certain 
      bindings of WSS (SAML and XrML in particular) there may be a more 
      straight-forward way of describing processing rules. Currently, the 
      bindings for these have processing rules described under 
      "proof-of-possession" (in other words, you start with the token and then 
      try to figure out if there is proof of possession, without even knowing if 
      you need to do that for the purposes of that message). Recall that SAML 
      and XrML express, among other things, things like "A can do B upon C." A 
      statement such as "A can do B upon C" doesn't have any inherent processing 
      rules that need to be associated to it necessarily. A better way might be 
      to look at the message. For instance, if the message is encrypted, we only 
      need an identification of the key that can decrypt it, not a statement 
      like "A can do B upon C." If the message is signed using a key (say k), we 
      need to validate the signature (say it succeeds), check the semantics of 
      the message (say that it is that Alice is requesting two tickets (to see a 
      movie)), check that the request is fresh (say that it is), check that 
      Alice is authenticated to k (say that she is), check that "Alice can 
      request upon tickets" (say that she can), and, finally, process the 
      request and generate the response. (Also, as Phill pointed out in his 
      recent e-mail, we ought to also indicate where the callers should put -- 
      and the receivers expect to find -- the tokens for each of these steps in 
      order to avoid the cost of figuring out the chains on the server side.) In 
      this way, it is clear what the intent and processing rules of the token 
      are, once we establish that there is first some processing to determine 
      what it is we are trying to prove with the tokens based on the message 
      coming in. I think this is clearer rather than just looking at the tokens 
      and explaining some of the things we can prove with them.

Proposed change in wording to address lines [813]-[820] in merged draft 
      8, 12 Dec 2002. 

      
"An XML signature may also be used to prove that the claims in a token 
      apply to the signer. Proving possession of a key associated with a token 
      key claim supports applying the other token claims with the signer. The 
      relying party acceptance of the claims may depend on confidence in the 
      token integrity, such as validation of an authority signature on the 
      token. Multiple tokens may have a key claim for a signature and may be 
      referenced from the signature using a SecurityTokenReference. A key claim 
      can be an X.509 Certificate token, or a Kerberos service ticket token to 
      give two examples."
