Subject: Re: [wss] Issue 13, Lines 856-858 in Core, discussed at the call today
Thomas, I would prefer that the two existing sentences simply be removed. I find them incongruous WRT the description of algorithms which preceeds them and, as was pointed out in the call, they can be read to mean that a producer somehow should change the order of existing signature and encryption elements in a header. I think the text beginning at line 435 and also that of section 9.4 define how signature and encryption elements must be ordered. That said, I think your text is an improvement over what's in the doc.
