We haven't discussed whether to break out XAdES as a separate
deliverable, but insofar as the mechanism is part of UBL 2.1, it
simply shares the progress of 2.1 as a Standard (including the use
statements).  Given the time it takes to get anything through
OASIS Standardization, this is a good reason to consider the XAdES
profile part of 2.1.  I was assuming that the Security SC
document (which now needs considerable revision) would be included
as part of PRD2.

If there are political reasons to break out the UBL XAdES profile
as a separate standard, we will have to consider them, but it will
make the task quite a bit more difficult, so I am hoping we don't
have to do that!
