Subject: [saag] W3C Last Call: XML Security Specifications

The W3C XML Security Working Group has three specifications in Last Call:

	XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.1
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlenc-core1-20100513/

	XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-core1-20100513/

	XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlsec-generic-hybrid-20100513/

The first two are incremental revisions of the existing XML Signature and Encryption Specifications; the Generic Hybrid Ciphers specification is new.  

We had previously last called Signature 1.1; the new last call is due to a proposed fix for known issues around RetrievalMethod that the Working Group realized it could make without violating its constraints.

The Last Call period ends on 10 June.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Frederick Hirsch (WG chair, CCed on this message) or myself.
