Following on from identifying the issues raised by Ed in his revision to
WD42 on Enveloped XML signatures in non XML documents.

I propose that this is replaced by:
"In the case of a non-XML input document, or when these child elements are
omitted, then the server will return an error unless alternative procedures
are defined by a profile or in the server policy for handling such a
situation."
