Fwd: Request for Comments on Widget Signing Proposal

Included is a request for comment on  use of XML Signature for  
signing Widgets, from the chair of the WAF WG.

If you are able to review and provide comments on this use of XML  
Signature please do so, by sending comments directly to the WAF  
public comment list as requested.  (I would appreciate being cc'd).

If you think we need to act on this as a WG please indicate on this  
list.

My understanding is that this is not urgent, but earlier comments are  
welcome.

Thanks

regards, Frederick

Frederick Hirsch
Nokia
