>      "Support for additional service options characterized by scenarios like
>Verify and TimeStamp should be provided for more generally as part of an
>overall "extensibility framework". As such the introduction of various
>options or directives on core DSS service operations can be extended to
>support profile-specific requirements. This "extensibility framework" should
>be designed to support the notion of compound or stacked operations typified
>by the Verify and TimeStamp scenario as well as the more common notions of
>"selection of response elements" or "specification of signing attributes".
