Please find attached a strawman chapter on security for the UBL 2.1 
specification (currently numbered "5").  This has not been reviewed 
by the Security SC but is put forward for consideration.

My thought was that the UBL 2.1 specification need only describe the 
"how" and not the "why".  It would seem that most of the rest of the 
specification is "how" to structure a UBL document, not why it is 
structured the way it is.  We will have guidelines and other 
documents for that.

For the same reason, I don't see that the security chapter need go 
into the "why" of XAdES signatures, but only the "how".  The Security 
SC can publish the "why" in its document once we've gone through PRD 
and determined that the public cannot find fault with what is done 
(let's hope!).

This is also the opportunity to talk about extensions in the UBL 2.1 
specification as in "this is how an extension is structured in a UBL document".

Comments are welcome and please don't feel you need to accommodate 
this unsolicited contribution ... I just thought it would be a way 
for us to quickly get to PRD1 and scope the necessary writing 
accordingly without getting out of scope for the UBL 2.1 specification.

The HTML is a rendering of the DocBook source that is included in the 
ZIP with the extension "zzz".
