XML Signature interop inventory

As a first step toward producing an implementation report for XML  
Signature, I think we need to agree which tests will go into the report.

(1) I believe there is no question that the xpointer tests should be  
in the report. All implementors have performed these tests and have  
checked in files for them.

xpointer-1
xpointer-2
xpointer-3
xpointer-4
xpointer-5
xpointer-6

(2) Include the dnString tests. All except one implementor tested  
(that one had the same implementation as another).

dnString-4
dnString-6
dnString-8

How should we report for the one implementation that did not test due  
to same underlying implementation, considering report made public?  
(Note as passed with footnote that same as other passing  
implementation?)

(3) Should we include the diffRFC tests?

diffRFCs-1
diffRFCs-2
diffRFCs-3
diffRFCs-4
diffRFCs-5

(4) Not include defCan-2 and defCan-3 tests since they were optional.
[member minutes http://www.w3.org/2007/12/04-xmlsec- 
minutes.html#item04 ]

defCan-2
defCan-3

(5) Do include defCan-1? Limited implementations due to need for  
specific interfaces available in implementations.

defCan-1

List as an optional test and only show who did it (e.g. not show  
PASS, FAIL)?

(6) Are there any other tests to consider?

Other thoughts on XML Signature implementation report contents?

Thanks
