AGENDA

1) $ AS AN XDI MESSAGE SUBJECT

Continuation of the last discussion, this time using the XRD RDF Model document examples:

     http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiRdfModel

Note that Drummond may have time to upload a slight revision to this doc before the meeting - whatever the current version is will be linked off this page.

2) CANONICALIZATION FOR XDI SIGNATURES (HELD OVER FROM LAST WEEK)

Work on XRD 1.0 in the XRI TC resulted in a decision to drop the priority

attribute and just rely on document order for priority. Also, the use of XML

signatures was carefully profiled to avoid complex canonicalization.

The combination of these two decisions raises the question of whether XDI

signatures can also be similarly simplified. In other words, could we not

specify that XDI signatures are simply done over the XDI document in

document order, with the only normalization being the removal of all

whitespace outside literals?
