Publishing XML Encrypting Draft

I will be requesting that W3C publish [1] as the first public draft of the 
XML Encryption Syntax and Processing. Clearly, we still have a lot to do 
(though we've made great progress!) and issues to come to consensuses on, 
but I've been sort of sliding by not making this an official W3C Technical 
Report sooner. This version has the contributors as discussed in [2], the 
algorithm section Donald posted on Friday, relatively up to date references, 
the move to ds:RetrievalMethod and I hope it reflects the text proposed by 
Blair and Ed in the processing section -- I had to tweak it to fit it in. If 
anyone discovers substantive or minor issues, I will try to integrate them 
in before publication, but barring some horrendous mistake in this draft, I 
think it's ok to be published ASAP and we should keep the discussions going!
