RE: Manually Signed Digest as an XML signature type

Joseph:

Your definition of KeyInfo is information related to the generation of
the signature. 
Mine is that KeyInfo is information required by the verifier of a
signature.  There are several forms, like KeyName, that illustrate that
it's not intended to be used in the generation of a signature. 

Also, in your choice between: 

"A. Non cryptographic electronic signatures should place their
"validating"
information in SignatureProperties, or
B. Non cryptographic electronic signatures can not use XML Signature
syntax
what-so-ever. (Specifying this would be difficult as we would then have
to
enumerate all the algorithms that may be used, or all those that may
not,
and it's difficult to enforce.)"

I believe we should clearly state that compliance with this standard
requires that a cryptographic signature MUST be generated (or verified.)
If the producer of a cryptographically signed XML document wishes to add
an electronic signature, it should be included as a SignatureProperty.
