Hi Andreas,

as far as the Asynchronous Profile, it seems like the only thing you need 
to put in your schema is your <PendingRequest> and <ResponseMechanism> 
elements.  I don't think you need to define or redefine <dss:SignRequest>.

Right now the core schema can be used for validation, and since it's lax 
about certain things, it would be able to validate your <ResponseMechanism> 
optional input, if that schema was also available.
