Re: Algorithms draft posted

  Kelvin has made an update to the 1.1 algorithms draft, and has also  
produced a red-line.

I also suggested a change to the file names so the URLs have changed  
(sorry):


http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/Overview.htm

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/xmldsig-ecc.xsd

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/Overview_diff.htm

Thanks very much to Kelvin for completing this quickly.

All - please review before the next call.

regards, Frederick
