Matthew Fuchs asks, in regards to a digital signature, "How we know just what the signature covers"? In other words, what is the scope of the digital signature? The digital signature people are working on this question, and have some good ideas. From what I can see, this is an issue of the semantics of digital signatures, but not an XML problem. We don't need to solve it for them, merely give them the basic tools from which they can construct a solution. (Those tools being a way to put an unambiguous, structured digital signature element in or on any element.) --Andrew Layman AndrewL@microsoft.com > --
