some comments on Signature 2.0

As discussed on last call, for sections that are not yet pulled in,  
add Editors Note that
"This section will be derived from XML Signature, Second Edition but  
has not yet been added. Please refer to XML Signature Second Edition"  
or if there will be changes, indicate the intent.

Substantive comment

Is now the time to change the dsig 2.0 namespace from

"http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/experimental"

to

"http://www.w3.org/2010/xmlsec/xmldsig2#"

Changes in 1.3 and examples.

We should add a clear Editorial Note that this URI is still subject to  
change.

Suggest replacing dsig20: with dsig2: for consistency with shortname

Editorial comments

General

Change style sheet for comments (currently in green) to be less  
intrusive in section 3.1.2 and 3.2.1

1. Cover

Given the convention to list editors of previous versions should  
probably add 2nd edition editors here, also note which editors were  
for previous versions

2. Introduction

replace
"The Transform model has completely changed in 2.0, see 10 Differences  
from 1.x version for a list of changes from Signature 1.x."

with

"XML Signature 2.0 includes a new transform model designed to address  
requirements including performance, simplicity and streamability.   
This model is significantly different than in XML Signature 1.x, see  
[list of changes]. XML Signature 2.0 is designed to be backward  
compatible, however, enabling the XML Signature 1.x model to be used  
where necessary. Details of this model are documented in XML  
Signature, Second Edition."

2.1.1

Change http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/experimental#newTransformModel to
http://www.w3.org/2010/xmlsec/xmldsig2#xform

Validation

In html element, put en as value in lang="" xml:lang=""
there are others as well, try ,validate at end of URL for document

Broken links (I believe we fixed the FIPS links in 1.1)
