 6. Core Schema & Extensions
6.1 Separating Basic Core from Extension - Basic approach

http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/dss/200309/msg00091.html
and following exchanges with regards to this issue, including
proposals for XML schemas.

* General consensus on the approach of defining the protocol in terms of a
minimal core, with extensions. Rich Salz, Trevor Perrin commented on the
approaches they have been promoting on the mailing list, and which are
converging.

* Juan-Carlos Cruellas recommends to do a "proof of concept" to ensure that
basic core doesn't contradict any required extensions.

* John Messing asks how the hash-storage approach proposed by the National
Conf. of U.S. State Judges would be accommodated within the proposed
framework, since it doesn't have an X.509-style digital signature. The TC
needs to consider this issue further.
