Important: Updated XML Signature 1.1 Editors Draft - Please review

I have updated the XML Signature 1.1 Editors draft, please review it  
for correctness and completeness before our 5 January call.

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

I have reviewed all the changes since converting to ReSpec and  
corrected all the errors found. You can see the  changes since the  
conversion in a redline I created [1].

I have also successfully run it through the W3C validator and link  
checker tools, again correcting all errors found. (ACTION-478). There  
are some redirects remaining that we may consider for additional link  
updates.

I also incorporated the following changes agreed in the WG:

ACTION-464, MgmtData change, reflecting review edits, changed title of  
4.5.8

ACTION-466 Incorporate RSA key size text into document

ACTION-467 Add action-404 proposal into editors draft, history why  
DERKeyValue is not child of KeyValue

ACTION-470 Change "see below" to link to section 6.2 in xml sig 1.1  
(changed in a number of places)

ACTION-471 Add SHA-1 warning to 6.2.1 and fix DSS reference in sig 1.1

I made a minor change to the RSA key size text [2], changing

"This XML Signature 1.1 revision REQUIRES all conforming  
implementations to support RSA signature generation and verification  
with public keys at least 2048 bits in length. "

to

"All conforming implementations of XML Signature 1.1 MUST support RSA  
signature generation and verification with public keys at least 2048  
bits in length. "

The reason was to be able to use RFC2119 keyword MUST.

I updated the redline from XML Signature 2nd Edition [3].

Please review carefully as we plan to bring XML Signature 1.1 to Last  
Call, deciding on 5 January meeting.

regards, Frederick
