[ + Marcos and Frederick ]
Hi Andrew,
The group stopped working on XML Digital Signature for Widgets several
years ago and there is no plan to resume work (except to process errata
as required).
Marcos, Frederick - this spec's namespace document includes the
following statement:
[[
<http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets-digsig/>
Implementers should be aware that this document is not stable.
]]
Any objections from you or anyone else to remove this statement?
-Thanks, ArtB

ATSC and CEA are developing standards that include the ability to
download digital signed applications. Their current specifications
reference the W3C Recommendation for XML Digital Signature for Widgets
(18 April 2013). However, the associated Widgets Digital Signature
Namespace (http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets-digsig/) contains a statement
that “Implementers should be aware that this document is not stable.”
which has raised questions as to the stability and suitability of
referencing Widget DigSig. The alternative would be to reference
XAdES with the C and T forms to allow for the inclusion of timestamp
and certificate revocation information which are not included in
Widget DigSig.
I would be pleased to receive any information regarding the stability
of Widget DigSig and whether referencing XAdES would provide a better
alternative.
Thank-you,
