Subject: [wss] WSS-X509 - Review contribution
1. No bookmarks appear in the PDF file. Not sure why, a my version of distiller generates these automatically. These would help readers navigate better. 2. Hypertext links are highlighted, but none of them work - related to 1. 3. References (general). The use of identifiers such as [DIGSIG] in line 151 while traditional in some standards can be problematic. Please consider changing all reference identifiers to simple numbers like [1]. The use of text here has marginal benefit for readers, and in a set of documents such as in WSS, begs for common agreement or coordination between documents in a way that use of simple numbers does not. Using text is also error prone. See, [X509], for a similar problem below. There are many standards that could be labeled with "X509". 4. Line 151, change reference to identify author R. Shirley, Internet Security Glossary, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2828.txt, IETF RFC 2828, May 2000. 5. Lines 162-165 This hypertext link takes you to the ITU-T Electronic Bookstore where the X.509 standard can be downloaded for free. This link does not appear to belong with the document cited, which I believe should probably be S. Satesson, W. Polk, P. Barzin, M. Nystrom, Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Qualified Certificates Profile, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2828.txt, IETF RFC 3039, January 2001. 6. The footing indicates that this document is the core specification document, WSS-Core-01. 7. Lines 3, 17, 52, 80, 87, 98, 127, and 132, change "X509" to "X.509". Add a reference to the X.509 standard. For example, ISO/IEC 9594-8: Information technology (2000) | ITU-T Recommendation X.509 (2001), Open Systems Interconnection -- The Directory: Authentication framework, http://www.itu.int/rec/recommendation.asp?type=items&lang=e &parent=T-REC-X.509-200003-I.
