New XKMS Requirements Editors draft

There is a new Editors version of the XKMS requirements draft [1], one that I believe addresses all
open issues against the requirements. Please look at it and post to the list if any corrections are needed.
Thanks Joseph for posting it to the web site and fixing some html issues.

Please note that the following requirements have changed in the last month (this edit and the last):
2.1.3, 2.1.14 (new),2.2.2,  2.4.5, 2.5.4, and 4.1 (new). 
Affiliations of the editors have also changed, and references have been updated.

Implications include potential addition of text to the XKMS specification for justification of optional  
features (2.1.3/SHOULD), and for unbounded schema maxOccurs elements (2.1.14/SHOULD).

Please send mail to the list if there are any outstanding issues with the requirements.

regards, Frederick
