Resolution of example issue in XML Signature, Second Edition

Makoto

Thank you for noting issues [1] with the example in XML Security,  
Second Edition, section 9  ("Schema, DTD, Data Model, and Valid  
Examples") [2].

The XML Security WG noted this as well as issues concerns with other  
material in that section, so agreed to add an erratum recommending  
that the section should  only contain the XML Signature Schema  
Instance and XML Signature DTD material, and that all other material  
should be removed [3].

This should resolve the issue you raised, which has been recorded as  
ISSUE-145 [4]. Unless we hear otherwise we shall assume this resolves  
the concern for you.

I also note that this issue does not reappear in XML Signature 1.1  
which has retitled the section "Schema" and only contains schema  
information [5].

Thanks

regards, Frederick
