RNG schema plans

I have had some trouble validating the XML Signature example  against  
the 1.1 RNC schema using the any-containing-xmldsig.rnc driver (sp- 
example.xml referenced in Signature Properties).  I also attempted to  
create a driver containing signature properties rnc schema and have  
had the same problem.

Thomas had the same difficulty using  a different technique.

I raised an issue for this, ISSUE-177.

Thomas also noted xslt rnc schema referenced in the XML Signature RNC  
schema and raised ISSUE-176 on this.

I propose we remove the RNC material from the various specs and  
consolidate it into a XML Security RelaxNG Schema Note that we publish  
separately from the normative specs. I also suggest we reference this  
draft from the other specs and publish a FPWD at the same time as last  
call.

This has two advantages

1. decouples the schedules, allows more time to review and test the  
rng schema while progressing XML SIgnature and Signature Properties to  
Last Call
2. Puts all the related material in one place.

Comment?
