Revised XPointer xpointer() scheme discouragement

Based on the discussion from today's call, I think we also have the  
following (revised) proposal regarding XPointer xpointer() scheme  
discouragement:

In section 4.3.3.2 The Reference Processing Model,
http://www.w3.org/2007/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core/#sec- 
ReferenceProcessingModel

Replace

"Support of the xpointer() scheme [XPointer-xpointer] beyond the  
minimal usage discussed in this section is discouraged."

with

"[XPointer-xpointer] is in Working Draft status as of publication of  
this edition of XML Signature.  Therefore, use of the xpointer()  
scheme beyond the minimal usage discussed in this section is  
discouraged. Similar functionality
can be achieved using a full URI and transforms."


The changes from the proposal in the agenda are
1. change "support" to "use"
2. Add factual, not recommendation, statement: "Similar functionality  
can be achieved using a full URI and transforms."

regards, Frederick
