Dear widget fans,

I am pleased to inform you that Vodafone is offering to host a W3C event taking 
place from September 21st-23rd in Düsseldorf. This widget test cases creation 
event (in lack of a better name:-) shall be fully dedicated to the development 
of tests cases relating to the requirements defined by several widgets 
technical specifications (see 
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/PubStatus#Widgets_Specifications).

The high level objective is to develop a good amount of test cases, ideally let 
them run on some real implementations, improve iterativly and finally publish 
them at http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/tests/.

More information regarding registration, etc to follow shortly via W3C staff/WG 
chairs.

WARP: Example

2009-09-09 Thread Breitschwerdt, Christian, VF-Group
Hi,

Wrt the latest draft of WARP, I noticed that the usage example of the access 
element is actually not very meaningful as the last access element with uri=* 
allows access to practically everywhere, thus turning the earlier more 
restrictive permissions pointless. 

Regards,
Christian


Widget DigSign: Example of a distributor signature document is buggy

2009-10-06 Thread Breitschwerdt, Christian, VF-Group
Hi Marcos,

The position of the object element in the example provided in
http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-digsig/ section 1.4 is not correct in that
the object occurs before the SignatureValue. 

The DTD provided fo the XMLDIG11
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-xmldsig-core1-20090226/xmldsig-core-schema.
dtd and also the example
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-xmldsig-core1-20090226/signature-example.xm
l instruct us that it should occur AFTER the SignatureValue. 

The major problem with the example is that even it is non-normative it
may be used by implementors as a template, and some existing XML
security tools  chains (i.e. Apache XML security library) will fail to
process a template that has the object in the wrong order. 

Kind regards,
Christian
