Re: [office-comment] Signature validity / schema avoidance (ODF 1.2 Part 3 Draft 12)

[Bob Jolliffe <bobjolliffe@gmail.com>]

Hi Alex

I think section 5.3 is quite explicit:

"The <xmldsig:Signature> element is defined by the [xmldsig-core] specification."

Agreed that saying in the schema "anything is allowed within a xmldsig:Signature element" could be misconstrued.  Obviously what is meant is that this schema will not attempt to validate it.  But the I think the Part 3 is pretty clear on what is expected.

Regards, Bob

Dear all,

The dsig schema contains the following comment

<!-- To avoid inclusion of the complete XMLDSIG schema, anything -->
<!-- is allowed within a xmldsig:Signature element               -->

Why is "avoiding inclusion" a goal?

Nowhere is it stated that the content of these subtrees must be valid to
the W3C schema.

- Alex.
