>When you wrote "differentiating" do you mean being explicit in the >documentation or adopting different markup? I suggest adopting different markup. The syntax and semantics of a message protected by a keyed hash are different than a public key signature. The markup should clearly distinguish between these services. A URI providing algorithm type is not sufficient. I propose that we plan support and specific markup for: - public key digital signatures - keyed hash integrity - encryption (very similar in structure and usage to keyed hash) - key exchange (I've got lots of questions about this but will defer on this topic for awhile) I believe that this proposal is a very minor modification to exisitng proposals.
