Jose, Rich, et.al., 

I was hoping that the WSDL Note would help enable better communication of the in-band contract, e.g., Service 'A' requires use of ds:KeyName for XKMS operation 'X'.  Using existing Xml Signature schema references and XKMS schema does not make this possible to communicate this in-band.

I'll check and update.

I updated the file with your proposed text.

I'll do some slight modifications to the style, but not the content,
of the document as needed by our publishing rules. I'll write you (and
the list) when I've a final version.

BTW, I added links to the two notes from the XKMS home page.
