>> Subject: XML Security 2.0 drafts published - request for comment
>>
>> The W3C XML Security working group has published [1]  First Public
>> Working Drafts of Canonical XML 2.0 [2] and XML Signature 2.0 [3].
>>
>> The intent of the 2.0 releases includes simplification, ability to
>> stream, improved performance, and improved security.
>>
>> Canonical XML Version 2.0 is a major rewrite of Canonical XML Version
>> 1.1 that provides a declarative approach to canonicalization using
>> parameters, addresses performance concerns (and implementation best
>> practices), and effectively incorporates an 2.0 update to Exclusive
>> Canonicalization.
>>
>> XML Signature 2.0 includes a major simplification of the transform
>> model, while attempting to continue to allow 1.1 transform practice  
>> if
>> necessary. Section 10 outlines changes from 1.1 [4].
>>
>> The Working Group is seeking review and comment on these documents,
>> and requests that any comment be sent to  public-xmlsec-comments @
>> w3.org
>>
>> Information on other deliverables of the XML Security WG, including
>> the in-progress 1.1 release, is available at the publications page  
>> [5].
