I never understand the (b) point. Why is it a problem if the EncryptedData is the root of a Document? After decryption, the decrypted content is placed into the document and replaces EncryptedData. If the decrypted contents contain exactly one Element and no non-whitespace-characted-data, it can be parsed (and replace the original EncryptedData). Or do I miss a point? Christian
