Nicely done.  Thanks for being so visible.

Another thing you can do is set up an ODFtoolkit blog at Apache.  Ideally, the 
mailing lists will appear soon.

Two Questions:

 1.   My impression is that the signatures from OO.o are correct.  They do 
specify namespaces, but use default namespace declarations instead of prefixes.
  In what way is the signature document incorrect?
  Also, what versions of OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice are you checking signatures 
against?
  I have signatures from LibreOffice 3.4 that do not appear to duplicate X.509 
certificates and that seem to use namespaces correctly, although dsig namespace 
is 
declared with default xmlns declaration.

 2.   Does ODFDOM fail because of namespace being declared as default or 
because of something to do with canonicalization?  If the XML Digital Signature 
specification requires default namespace, it may be that ODF specification is 
incorrect.
  Have you found expert appraisal of what XML Digital Signature requires?

   ODFDOM
   1. Working on data signature. There are two issues caused by OpenOffice
   block the process.
       (1) OpenOffice.org generate a Namespace unaware signature document.
   ODFDOM loads it fails.
       (2) OpenOffice.org creates multiple X509Certificates instead of the
   correct certification chain under ds:KeyInfo.
       see also:
         https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39657 (ds namespace
         in LibreOffice)
         http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107864 (ds
         namespace in OOo)
         http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66276 (multiple
         X509Certificate  in OOo)
         http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108286
       We have to supply two modes to fix it. One follows ODF
   specification, the other follows Open Office. The question is which is
   the default?
