XML Signature 2.0 Last Call comment - correction to examples

There is an error in the XML Signature 2.0 examples, the dsig2:Selection attribute which specifies the type is named "type" and it should be named "Algorithm" according to the schema ( see http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-core2-20110421/#sec-Selection )

Proposal, change "type='" to "Algorithm=" in the following.

(a) In 2.1, http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-core2-20110421/#sec-o-Simple-2.0

[s07a]        <dsig2:Selection type="http://www.w3.org/2010/xmldsig2#xml" xmlns:dsig2="http://www.w3.org/2010/xmldsig2#"
URI="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126">

(b) In 2.2, http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-core2-20110421/#sec-DetailedIdExample-2.0

[ i23 ]                 <dsig2:Selection type="http://www.w3.org/2010/xmldsig2#xml" URI="#MsgBody" />

(c) and in 2.3, http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-core2-20110421/#sec-DetailedXPathExample-2.0

[ p24 ]                 <dsig2:Selection type="http://www.w3.org/2010/xmldsig2#xml" URI="">
