In reviewing the current draft of XML Signature, I am delighted to see the text approach what I had suggested back in May [1] ;-) In reviewing my May proposal and the current draft, I will say that the current draft's use of the word "augmented" is better than the May wording of "exceptions". However, I would still suggest that we need to have a sub-heading "Distinguished Name Encoding" (was "DName Encoding in [1]") so that the sentences in 4.4.4 can be changed from >>> * The X509IssuerSerial element, which contains an X.509 issuer distinguished name/serial number pair. The distinguished name SHOULD be represented as a string that complies with section 3 of RFC4514 [ <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#ref-LDAP-DN> LDAP-DN], * The X509SubjectName element, which contains an X.509 subject distinguished name that SHOULD be represented as a string that complies with section 3 of RFC4514 [ <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#ref-LDAP-DN> LDAP-DN], <<< to >>> * The X509IssuerSerial element, which contains an X.509 issuer distinguished name/serial number pair. The distinguished name SHOULD be represented as a string that complies with <new>the rules specified in section "Distinguished Name Encoding"</new>, * The X509SubjectName element, which contains an X.509 subject distinguished name that SHOULD be represented as a string that complies with <new>the rules specified in section "Distinguished Name Encoding"</new> <<< Do others agree with the above suggested changes to 4.4.4?
