We may need an element ><crypto> as container for all the signature and encryption data. What would the contents be? A list (stack) of references to Encryption and Signature elements? If you add a signature or encryption, push; if you remove one, pop? Two issues: 1. order might not always be important (if I encrypt two sibling element seperately order isn't important, but won't hurt anything unless this deprives the application of some functionality...) 2. this information will probably then want to be signed or encrypted, we fold back in on ourselves and things are quite complex...? __ Joseph Reagle Jr. W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/
