    Dear all,
    
    Coming back to what was mentioned at the last meeting, I would like to 
    mention that in my view, the signed verification response profile could 
    for instance be used in environments where clients would like to get 
    some signed prove that the signature was verified by a trusted server in 
    case by some reason this should be exhibited before other entities.
    
    To me, initially this seems ortogonal to the fact that the server 
    actually found more than one signatures in the document and incorporated 
    in its answer one report for each verified signature.
    
    The individual reports may come in signed or unsigned VerifyResponse: 
    the determinant issue is whether the document is signed by one or by 
    more than one signatures... The signature on the VerifyResponse would be 
    added by the server whenever the client asked for that if the server has 
    capability.
    
    In summary, initially, to me these two things are ortogonal and not sure 
    that they should be mixed in one profile...
    
    Regards
    
    Juan Carlos.
