Subject: Re: [xri] Rewriten SimpleSign page
Hi Nat, Is a new XML element (SDSIG) required because of limits in the size of XML attribute values? I was kind of hoping we could have one XML element (XRD) and just use different attributes to specify whether the XRD signature is external or included. Something like... <XRD sigVal="base64 signature" sigData="base64 of binary XRD 'file'" sigAlg="signature algorithm" certURI="URI to cert" /> for representations that need to support multiple signatures. This way the receiver only has one XML element to parse rather than needed to look for either <XRD> or <SDSIG>. I suppose that if the XRD is rather large this could get cumbersome for an XML attribute. If we have to add child elements anyway, then using a different XML element doesn't make much difference to the receiver.
