I'm trying to do an edit now and I'm running into this problem. It's not satisfactory to say, "URI consisting of "http://www.w3.org/2000/07/xmldsig#" suffixed with a KeyInfo sub-element type." We actually have to create URIs for all the KeyInfo types now, and what happens if someone wants to Retrieve something that we haven't defined? It's well known that I don't like these Reference and RetrievalMethod types, but given that it's required, it seems bogus to limit people to only our types and I don't want to define every type out there in our spec! _________________________________________________________ Joseph Reagle Jr. W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/
