I would like to be a little more sure which additions are meant.

My impression is that the emerging consensus is to allow for zero or
more signatures which, by naive and simple default, cover all of the
document (except, of course, the signatures themselves).

In that case does it make the meaning most obvious if schema specifies
that the signatures are required to be at the end of the XML document?
(This is not a necessity of the XML technologies, but it makes the
conceptual usage a bit more clear at first glance.)

Except for the particular location of the W3C Signature element in the
XML schema, we had this working at NVOSS 2 in Aspen last September.

It would probably be good to use two different XML signature toolkits
to verify interoperability.
(I used one in C++, but Java is also out there)

Any volunteers?
