    Title: Reliable / Duplicate / Message Order Inconsistencies
    

    



    Bob,
    

     
    

    It is completely within the purview of the ebXML-msh 
specification to describe how XML DSIG should be (must be) used in a 
conforming message.  If the current specification attempts to redefine XML 
DSIG, we should correct those errors.  What you're saying implies we 
shouldn't even say what XML DSIG features should be used in a conforming 
message.
    

     
    

    The current specification allows parallel running of the 
"eb" and "ds" namespace handlers and doesn't say much about how errors in each 
are distributed to the other.  (That seems to be an implementation issue 
beyond our scope.)  I believe the current text allows an implementation as 
you describe below except the ebXML handler should be made aware of (should be 
able to query) the invocation and success of the XML DSIG 
handler.
    

     
    

    With regards to "ds" being a foreign namespace, our comments 
on foreign namespaces apply only to such content within ebXML elements.  
The only time we embed security data from a foreign namespace is the 
ds:Reference elements in the eb:Acknowledgment.  That's not handled using a 
wildcard and is described as a required aspect of signing an acknowledgment 
message.
    

     
    

    thanx,
