Hi Joseph, you're right about that ID stuff. A nice reading on that is [1]. What I see from the feedback from users of the Apache XML Signature implementation is that a general ID-type attribute which can be applied even without DTD/Schema is really a problem for many users. IDs which refer e.g. to <ds:Object> often work in different implementations because a ds:*/@Id is (by implicit knowledge) of type ID. If the W3C could make a proposal on how we can use IDs WITHOUT DTD/Schema, that would be a GREAT deal. Regards, Christian [1] <http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/11/07/id.html> --On Mittwoch, 19.
