Some thoughts on what we need to do in the near future: 1. Canonical XML It's been a REC for over a year now: happy birthday! <smile/> 1. XML Signature Syntax and Processing We're a REC and we have ~15 implementations (woo-hoo)! We have four erratum: either editorial clarifications or things we are actively working to address. 2. Exclusive Canonicalization I feel like the work on this specification is done and we're pretty much ready to move forward. I'd like to hear a few more people report success with Gregor's tests [1] and that you're satisfied with its operation in an application context. (Even if you've already sent in a report, if your column isn't complete or haven't interop'd with Gregor's tests, please do so.) If I get this feedback soon, I'll stage it for publication as a Proposed REC at the end of this month! 3. XPath Filter 2.0 Transform Thanks to this week's edits by Merlin (and discussion between Merlin, John, Aleksey, and Christian) I think we've converged on a design and text that we're happy with. If no one objects to the present text [2] (speak now!) I'll stage it for publication as a W3C Last Call Working Draft (and first "official" W3C WD) at the end of this month. 4. DNAMEs are always a fun issue <grin/> The interop matrix for xmldsig now has an entry with Gregor's DNAME tests [3]. It would be great to get some other reports on that! (Harada?)
