"The optional Type attribute denotes the actually digested item, not it's contents" seems OK to me. In addition to that, should not we change the next sentence?: "For example, a reference that identifies an |Object| element containing a |SignatureProperties| element is still of type |#Object|" by "For example, a reference that does not contain any transform and that identifies an |Object| element containing a |SignatureProperties| element is still of type |#Object|" As if there is some transform in the ds:Reference element then what is digested and signed might not be a ds:Object anymore...
