The XML Security WG has published Last Call documents for XML Security 2.0 and 
is seeking review and comment on these specifications. Please send comments 
before 31 May  to the working group public mailing list, [email protected]


(1) XML Signature 2.0, http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-core2-20110421/

[[
XML Signature 2.0 includes a new transform model designed to address 
requirements including performance, simplicity and streamability. This model is 
significantly different than in XML Signature 1.x. XML Signature 2.0 is 
designed to be backward compatible, however, enabling the XML Signature 1.x 
model to be used where necessary
]]

(2) Canonical XML 2.0, http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xml-c14n2-20110421/

[[
Canonical XML Version 2.0 is a major rewrite of Canonical XML Version 1.1 and 
Exclusive Canonical XML 1.0 to address issues around performance, streaming, 
hardware implementation, robustness, minimizing attack surface, determining 
what is signed and more. It combines inclusive and exclusive canonicalization 
algorithms into a single algorithm, that takes the canonicalization mode as a 
parameter.
]]

and 

(3) the XML Signature Streaming Profile of XPath 1.0., 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmldsig-xpath-20110421/

[[
a streamable profile of XPath 1.0  for use in XML Signature 2.0 
]]

The 2.0 Requirements, an XMLSecurity Algorithms Cross-Reference draft, a RELAX 
NG Schemas draft and 1.1 and other  documents are at the working group 
publications page at http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/wiki/PublicationStatus

Thank you

regards, Frederick
