Could we put a use of this feature in one or > more of the published examples so that this issue doesn't come up again? We can't change the spec, it's a REC and Draft Standard. While we could've used such an example with a different media type, fortunately the spec does say it can work with any octets, and this example from the spec actually does sign octets: URI="http://example.com/bar.xml" Identifies the octets that represent the external resource 'http://example.com/bar.xml', that is probably an XML document given its file extension.
