RE: [wss] additional issue for issues list
This is already recorded as issue 427 ( for which I have an action to
produce a proposal ). I have a problem with your proposed resolution
because use of STRs outside the wsse:Security header is clearly
in-scope. For example; inside xenc:EncryptedData that appears outside
the wsse:SecurityHeader.
