    Dear all,
    
    I have drafted the start of a message in answer to the one that Bob 
    Jolliffe, from ODF addressed to us, in order to discuss it today...
    
    Regards
    
    Juan Carlos.

    Dear Mr Jolliffe,
    
    
    I am writing on behalf of the OASIS DSS-X TC in response to your email 
    of 14th August 2008.
    
    First of all, the DSS-X TC wants to thank you for the submission of the 
    aforementioned email.
    
     From the review of the specific questions that you include in your 
    email, it is the opinion of this TC that questions #1, #2, #3 and #5 
    actually are more related to the XAdES standard itself than to the DSS 
    profile for managing generation and verification of XAdES sigantures 
    produced by this committee. It is the opinion of this TC that ETSI 
    Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI) Committee is the 
    suitable body to answer them.
    
    As for question #4, as you notice, DSS produced and DSS-X is producing a 
    number of profiles for matching the DSS core standard to specific 
    environments or to incorporate new features. The DSS set of standards 
    also allow to combine different profiles incorporating additional 
    features for obtaining more powerfullness.
    
    This approach allows to incorporate in the core a set of basic yet 
    relevant features, and still allowing that those systems requiring 
    additional ones may make use of the profiles.
    
    
    
    ----> Here the end of the message...
