Actually, this one should have a forward reference to XML Signature  
1.1, in particular if we publish this draft along with an FPWD of XML  
Signature 1.1.  Same holds for ECDSA-SHA256.

As noted before, I'd rather not.

done, with reference to XML Signature 1.1

Replaced with 1.1 reference instead.

Additionally, the note was missing ECDH from Encryption 1.1.
