Comments on 4 Dec 02 draft

This draft is great and the discussion on represent is much clearer. I 
have a few questions/comments:

1. In section 2.7.1. on MessageAbstractType (line [63])
Would it be useful/clearer to add on the ds:Signature paragraph
that this means the signature Reference should have a value 
corresponding to the MessageAbstractType Id value (ie the instance's id 
value)? In other words "" is not a valid Reference value.

The reason is that if XKMS messages are conveyed in SOAP, a Reference of 
"" would correspond to the SOAP envelope and not the XKMS message as 
intended, hence I suggest clarifying the Reference usage here.

2. [65] should the ds:Signature element be maxOccurs=1? Likewise 
OpaqueClientData?

3. Why is the schema for OpaqueClientData an unbounded sequence of 
OpaqueData elements rather than just a single base64Binary value? Is the 
idea to allow multiple binary blobs? Does this need 
justification/explanation?
