Precedence: list

FYI.

Note that the document is referencing an upcoming version of XML  
Signature, which is currently in Working Draft status.

There is an expectation that this profile (not the base spec) might  
undergo a W3C last call relatively soon, so this would be a good time  
to review the specification.
