Proposed addition to XML Signature 1.1 and 2.0 for XML Signature Best Practices

I propose the following changes to  XML Signature 1.1 and XML Signature 2.0 to reference XML Signature Best Practices:

(1) Add new paragraph at end of Section 1, Introduction , as follows:

A number of good practices related to the use of XML Signature, including practical implementation considerations and practices for improving security are documented in the XML Signature Best Practices document which should be considered by implementers of this specification [XMLDSIG-BESTPRACTICES].

(2) Add informative reference  to A.2 Informative references, as follows:

[XMLDSIG-BESTPRACTICES]
Pratik Datta; Frederick Hirsch. XML Signature Best Practices. 31 August 2010. W3C Working Draft. (Work in progress.) URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-bestpractices-20100831/
