Hi Art, Thanks for reaching out to OpenAjax Alliance, but most likely we will not be providing feedback on the Digital Signatures spec. We haven't done anything at OAA around digsigs. I send email to our Security committee, but I don't expect any response. Personally, I have just general knowledge about digsigs and haven't been following the detailed discussion in the WebApps WG about digsigs.
Incidentally, keep up the great work!
Jon
