I vote for option 2 and REQUIRED. In the eProcess group at JetForm, I believe that anything else will cause us difficulty, as we expect composition to be not uncommon. The eForms group tells me inclusive canonicalization is a serious problem for them, as their architecture starts with xml subdocuments that are later composed into the end document. -Mark Bartel eProcess Group JetForm Corporation ----- original message ----- From: "Joseph M.

So please respond, on the list, to the following poll by end of Monday June 18th. With respect to the issue of excluding ancestor context from the canonical form of a signature[1], the WG should pursue option: 1. Specify the exclusive canonicalization as part of the non-normative (nor required to implement) dsig-more specification [2]. 2.Specify the exclusive canonicalization as part of the normative xmldsig-core as proposed in [3] (but with the URIs of [4]) as [REQUIRED, RECOMMENDED, OPTIONAL]. (This option requires interoperable implementation of this feature before xmldsig advances.)
