Another place to put garbage for collisions

It just occured to me that spurious XML namespace declarations on  
<SignatureMethod> elements might be a handy way to hide garbage if an  
attacker was to exploit collisions in a hash algorithm used for  
signatures.

I wonder whether we want to deal with that in any way.
