Re: [dss] Discussion on outstanding issues for the core.

Hi Trevor !

Shame on me, I missed to follow the list for some days ...

Iirc we discussed it on the F2F shortly because someone thought that you need DTD/schema for evaluating an XPath expression. What's definitely not true ...
Can you tell me, why we need to know anything about the DTD/schema of the documents to be signed ?

Wouldn't it be bewildering if the server is able to sign documents with a given DTD/schema ONLY !

Greetings

Andreas
