This isn't quite the same. If you omit the URI attribute, than you are saying (according to the 4th paragraph of sec 4.3.3.1) that the verifier knows what the reference is, and that they will fetch it on their own. This isn't quite the same as Manifest. I'd go with the Manifest. /r$ -- Rich Salz, Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.htmlReceived on Wednesday, 14 January 2004 10:28:49 GMT
