Working on the algorithms cross-reference, I'm going through section 6.6 of XML Signature with a relatively fine comb. There is some significant processing that is dispatched off whether a transform takes a node-set or an octet-stream as input. However, section 6.6 is (to put it mildly) conflating special processing for node-sets (or octet-streams) with re-telling pieces of the reference processing model. I suggest that, for XML Signature 1.1, we do the following: - Call out acceptable inputs (and output) in the top of the subsections of 6.6, along with the Identifier. - Be very clear whether or not we specify special behavior when given the "wrong" input. - clean up language where it's all too tortured. The enveloped signature transform comes to mind for that. -- Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org>
