[ + Marcos and Frederick ] Hi Andrew, The group stopped working on XML Digital Signature for Widgets several years ago and there is no plan to resume work (except to process errata as required). Marcos, Frederick - this spec's namespace document includes the following statement: [[ <http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets-digsig/> Implementers should be aware that this document is not stable. ]] Any objections from you or anyone else to remove this statement? -Thanks, ArtB On 5/7/15 5:55 AM, Andrew Twigger wrote: > > ATSC and CEA are developing standards that include the ability to > download digital signed applications.
