I see the newly added normative references of [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] 
and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] in -08.  Thanks for that.  The remaining 
simple edit would be to actually reference these somewhere in the text.  Right 
now these are just listed as references.

-08 cleaned this up.  Thank you.

Understood.  Thanks for the edits in Section 11.  However, I was primarily 
looking for symmetry with the following text "As such, the registry 
transmitting the data to the escrow agent SHOULD take all the necessary 
precautions ..."  This text provides a normative SHOULD about transport 
security.  The text should provide a similar SHOULD about storing any 
confidential data in deposits in an encrypted format at rest.

Understood.  There is an expectation of a signaling protocol.  It might be 
worth mention that and noting that the associated details are out of scope.

Thanks.
