RE: [xdi] Agenda: XDI TC Telecon Thursday 1-2PM PT 2009-11-12

["Barnhill, William [USA]" <barnhill_william@bah.com>]

Figures. Just got pulled into a VTC with my client and team for 4pm EST to 5pm, so I'm going to miss today's telecon. I had really wanted to take part in discussing items 1 and 2 too but feel free to press on and let me know. If anyone wants to do a sidebar call in the evening EST time to further discuss these items I'd be open to that, just let me know. I'll be getting home around 7pm EST today and tomorrow, any time after that is fine with me (though may be pretty onerous for European folks).

Thanks,
Bill

2) $ AS AN XDI MESSAGE SUBJECT

If there is time, we'll continue the last discussion, which ended with the observation that $, $$, and $$any were all candidates for the subject of anonymous messages. Drummond has a proposal.

3) CANONICALIZATION FOR XDI SIGNATURES (HELD OVER FROM LAST WEEK)

Sill pending from earlier agendas:

Work on XRD 1.0 in the XRI TC resulted in a decision to drop the priority
attribute and just rely on document order for priority. Also, the use of XML
signatures was carefully profiled to avoid complex canonicalization.

The combination of these two decisions raises the question of whether XDI
signatures can also be similarly simplified. In other words, could we not
specify that XDI signatures are simply done over the XDI document in
document order, with the only normalization being the removal of all
whitespace outside literals?
