Errors in Digital Signature Service Core...

[Robin Cover <robin@oasis-open.org>]

I would like to report the following errors in two OS-level
spec documents recently released; I suspect similar errors in
the related prose documents.

==================================================================

Document: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dss/v1.0/oasis-dss-core-spec-v1.0-os.html
** Errors also in the PDF and Word (.doc) formats

* the date is not February 2002
* the string (MONTH/YEAR TBD) is opaque/stub

========================== Similar errors:

(I'm guessing that all the OS spec documents for DSS 1.0
 need to be checked and fixed).
