It depends on what the server is doing but injecting an element can be easily hard-coded into output templates where removing calls for parsing. Anyway, it's nice having an alternate design strategy to kick around. :-)

BTW, re problem of server changing element order, you probably know this but the common solution is to store the membership and order of signed elements elsewhere so scrambled element order in XML won't matter much.

2. I think it might make more sense to create an extension designed to
enhanced digital-signature support. Such an extension would include a
'marker' element to indicate that signatures within, if any, are likely damaged. A feed processing agent downstream can then use the marker to
avoid alarming the user unnecessarily.


Hmmm. I can't see how that would be any easier.
