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.
