Okay, these two tasks are the last ones, before the signer component

good idea to:
1) visualize the data about the be signed.

While all these are very valid concerns, I sure don't see why
they would be relevant to the OpenSC group and this list.
As far as document signing, the OpenSC project is limited
to the following technical operations: here's a bunch of
bits, send them into a smart card, have the smart card
compute a digital signature, and send the result back out.
There might be some technical differences if non-repudiation
is involved, such as requiring that the smart card's PIN
be (re)supplied during the signing procedure. But I think
that's about it.
But anyway, the legal and usability issues are known by
many and are better discussed elsewhere.
