Subject: Re: [xri] Rewriten SimpleSign page
Hi George, I do not think there is any size limit in attributes. So, that is also valid, I think. One reservation that I have then is that the XRD in inline mode and XRD in the detached mode is a different thing now. That, I think, is the reason that John and Brian has introduced a new element. What do you think? > Brian and John =nat George Fletcher wrote: > Hi Nat, > > Is a new XML element (SDSIG) required because of limits in the size of > XML attribute values?
