comments on algorithms draft

Comments on algorithms draft [1]. I propose we make these changes  
before First Public Working Draft.

(1) 1st  paragraph in section 3
Replace "(again, and octet-stream)" with "(an octet stream that is  
base64 encoded as noted in Section 4.2 of XML SIgnature)"

(2) Section 3.2
Replace "various variants" with "variants"

(3) Section 3.2, RSA-SHA256
remove references to dsig and 2nd edition, not applicable in this case

(4) Section 3.2 RSA-SHA384, RSA-SHA512

For each, add note:
"This algorithm is under consideration as an optional to implement  
algorithm for a future version of XML Signature."

(5) Section 3.2 RSA-RIPEMD160

This algorithm is not mentioned in the XML Signature 1.1 draft. An  
issue?

(6) Section 3.3 ECDSA-SHA224

This algorithm is not mentioned in the XML Signature 1.1 draft. An  
issue?

(7) section 3.3 ECDSAwithSHA384

replace second ECDSAwithSHA384 with ECDSAwithSHA512

(8) section 3.3 ECDSA-SHA1, ECDSAwithSHA384, ECDSAwithSHA512

for each, add note:
"This algorithm is under consideration as an optional to implement  
algorithm for a future version of XML Signature."

(9) Section 3.4 HMAC-SHA256

Add
"This algorithm is under consideration as a recommended to implement  
algorithm for a future version of XML Signature."

(9) Section 3.4 HMAC-SHA384, HMAC-SHA512

For each, add
"This algorithm is under consideration as an optional to implement  
algorithm for a future version of XML Signature."

(10) Section 3.4 HMAC-RIPEMD160

This algorithm is not mentioned in the XML Signature 1.1 draft. An  
issue?

(11) Section 4.2 SHA-224

This algorithm is not mentioned in the XML Signature 1.1 draft. An  
issue?

(12)  Section 4.2 SHA-256

Remove xml signature and 2nd edition references.

(13) Section 4.2 SHA-384, SHA-512

For each, add
"This algorithm is under consideration as an optional to implement  
algorithm for a future version of XML Signature."

(14) 4.3 RIPEMD-160

Add note:
"This algorithm is listed as optional to implement in XML Encryption  
in section 5.7.4.
