My rough tally then is 5 implementors have responded that they do not have immediate plans to implement XML or Schema validation as a Signature transform. Baltimore has some support for both [1,2]. This is fine, no one is advocating these features as requirements. Folks will get to them in due time. However, our problem is that folks *will* get to them, and they'll wonder how to do it properly. This question has already identified a few ambiguities in our spec that we've been able to fix. The immediate question facing us then is what to do with these parts of the spec in the mean time? Please send your response (particularly from implementors) by the end this week. Should we: 1. Retain the sections [3] as is and wait for interop. 2. Retain the sections [3]in a modified form and argue they are merely INFORMATIONAL. Neither transform requires much by way of a specified feature. If we eliminated the porting of a schema as a child of the <Transform Algorithm="&schema;"/>, all we are doing is agreeing upon the algorithm URI, and repeating what the XML and schema inputs/outputs to the vaidation are from their own specs. 2. Remove the sections (but continue to leave hints that schema and XML validation should be treated as transforms). 4. Remove the sections and place them in the Auxillary Algorithms draft? Whatever we do, we *might* have to bounce back down to a last call or CR before going to REC for a few weeks, but I'm less concerned with that then getting consensus on a good decision on our options above.
