RE: Documents & Editors

I started on a chained XKMS services doc, I will dig it out. My conclusion
was that it should all work except that there are some important fixes we
need to be made to Soap routing to prevent deadlock and livelock. These
really need to be in SOAP since they affect all chained web services.

Hi Stephen, 

From a look at the working group scope that was prepared as part of the
proposal, there was also a requirement to "[p]roduce non-normative
document(s) that set ou best practices for applying XKMS to applications
that may include (i) chained XKMS services (including the n-corners model)
and (ii) interoperation with existing X.509 and PGP based applications." In
the working group proposal, this item came between 2 and 3 (as enumerated
below) and was actually prioritized ahead of 3.  It appears there is a
mandate for work to begin on this task as well, assuming there are
volunteers?

I agree that the requirements doc is the first priority though. 

Mike
