Opening a bug is a good idea :) Now I am not sure I understand what
kind of fix are you looking for. Will you mind to write it in the bug, please?


Thanks!

is the decryptor required to perform "parsing" ?

Not in the spec. One can dump the document and decrypted piece into a string and then parse the whole document back. Not very fast and not very efficient :(


That's an implementation issue. Parsing a substring within a node
context
could be a useful addition to libxml2 API, I'm not saying it's impossible
but I try to understand the real scope of the problem, in order to get
the right solution. There is more than just in-scope namespaces which are
inherited from a document, like entities ...

Yes, you are right. It's much more. The general idea behind the spec is that you get a piece of XML document and encrypt it, then someone decrypts this piece and gets original XML document "as-is".


I'm coming back about this. I think it would be a good thing to open a bug in both xmlsec and libxml2 to
keep track of this issue and of whether any progress is made toward a solution
and give the number of the bugs on the xmlsec mailing-list.
