I object to the phrase 'For the truely paranoid among us' as the qualifier to 'digital signature techniques could be used to ensure their veracity'. There are numerous reasons why someone might want digital signatures to associated with SOAPs, URCs, and other attributes of data that is transferred over the network, and it is unacceptable at this point to promote a scheme that doesn't actually include provisions for dealing with the security aspects, even if they are not required. That is, not only should you remove the phrase, you should give an example of how digital signatures would work to sign a SOAP or a URC. Larry (I also don't like a discussion that includes 'www-talk' and 'uri'; either it belongs on one list or the other.)
