CfC: remove OCSPResponse from XML SIgnature 1.1; please respond by 18 Sept

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to remove the OCSPResponse element from XML Signature 1.1 [1]. The reason is that we do not seem to have interest in interop testing this element and so should remove it so we can progress XML Signature 1.1 toward REC.

A positive response (+1) is preferred - silence is considered to be agreement.

Please respond by 18 Sept 2012 (before our next call on Tuesday 19 Sept).

Thanks

regards, Frederick

Specifically, we will remove

1. the bullet in section 4.5.4  The X509Data element (and thus the corresponding OCSP reference as well)


  *   The dsig11:OCSPResponse element contains a base64-encoded OCSP response in DER encoding. [OCSP<http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/Overview.src.html#bib-OCSP>].

2. The line in the schema snippet,

      <!-- <element ref="dsig11:OCSPResponse"/> -->

also change the schema snippet line

      <!-- OCSPResponse and X509Digest elements (XMLDsig 1.1) will use the any element -->

to


      <!-- The X509Digest element (XMLDSig 1.1) will use the any element -->


 also remove the lines


<element name="OCSPResponse" type="base64Binary" />


Also make these changes to XML Signature 2.0, and remove OCSPResponse from the XML Signature 1.1 interop test report
