[widgets] Moving Widgets 1.0: Digital Signature spec to Candidate Recommendation

The comment period for the 30 April 2009 Widgets Digital Signature  
LCWD [1] ended 1 June 2009.

It appears the only changes between the latest ED [2] and the LCWD  
are Editorial. It also appears no formal comments were submitted.  
Editors - please confirm this.

One of the next steps to move this spec to CR is to agree on the CR's  
Exit Criteria. A strawman proposal (based on the Element Traversal  
CR) follows:

[[
This is the DD MMM 2009 Candidate Recommendation of the Widgets 1.0:  
Digital Signature specification. W3C publishes a Candidate  
Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be stable  
and to encourage implementation by the developer community. The Web  
Applications (WebApps) Working Group expects to request that the  
Director advance this document to Proposed Recommendation once the  
Working Group has developed a comprehensive Widgets 1.0: Digital  
Signature test suite, and demonstrated at least two interoperable  
implementations for each test. The WebApps Working Group expects to  
show these implementations by September 2009. The Working Group does  
not plan to request to advance to Proposed Recommendation prior to 01  
September 2009.
]]

An agenda topic for the June 4 widgets voice conference will be a  
proposal to advance this spec to Candidate Recommendation. If you  
cannot attend that meeting and object to such a proposal, please  
clearly state your reason(s) for objecting before that meeting starts  
(June 4 @ 15:00 Paris time).
