RE: [legalxml-enotary] Consultant tasks

[John Messing <jmessing@law-on-line.com>]

Rough Prefatory note:

With regard to the 5 items that are listed below all deal with the five
signature profiles. Items 1 and 2 deal with binary or dumb documents,
and 3, 4 and 5 with smart documents. In the process of developing 3, 4
or 5 while there may be certain changes needed to be made to 1 and 2, it
is expected they will build upon 1 and 2. In all cases, all the five
signature profiles are intended to be developed and no additional
profiles are expected.
