The XML Security WG is asking WebApps WG for review of the XML
Signature 1.1 and Signature Properties Last Call drafts. Though the
formal deadline is March 18, we would prefer comments in February if
possible.
Some more information:
* Signature 1.1 draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core1/
* changes from 1.0 (2nd Edition) http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core1/explain.html
Changes are focused on the set of mandatory to implement algorithms
and markup for relevant key material.
* Signature Properties :

As Art noted below, there are other related documents that have been
updated. The full list is at the XMLSec publication page
http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/wiki/PublicationStatus
I should also point out that the Canonical XML 2.0 and XML Signature
2.0 drafts in progress might be of interest to members of this group,
since they are to address goals to improve performance, usability,
streamability and reduced attack surface. These are works in progress:
* 2.0 Requirements:
http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmlsec-reqs2/Overview.html
* Canonical XML 2.0: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/c14n-20/
* XML Signature 2.0: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-20/

Last Call for Two XML Signature Drafts; Other Drafts Updated
04 February 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8712
The XML Security Working Group published two Last Call Working
Drafts:
http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/
* XML Signature Syntax and Processing 1.1, which specifies
XML syntax and processing rules for creating and
representing digital signatures. XML Signatures can be
applied to any digital content, including XML.
* XML Signature Properties, which outlines proposed standard
XML Signature Properties syntax and processing rules and an
associated namespace for these properties. The intent is
these can be composed with any version of XML Signature
using the XML SignatureProperties element.
The group welcomes Last Call comments through 18 March. The
group also published several other drafts today: "XML Security
1.1 Requirements and Design Considerations," "XML Security
RELAX NG Schemas," "XML Security 2.0 Requirements and Design
Considerations," "XML Signature Transform Simplification:
Requirements and Design," and "XML Signature Best Practices."
