Hello Joseph,

I think it would be a good idea, to change the identifier to
#SignatureProperties, because only the enveloping SignatureProperties
Element currently has defined an Id attribute, contrary to
SignatureProperty.

Otherwhise it would not be possible to refer to such an item using our
XPointer
shortcut as part of a URI reference.
