And we are doing 1, just 1.

If this succeeds, we can talk about doing 2, or something else.

I should also point out that CAP does specify a signing capability
based on XMLDsig.  One potential outcome is that a profile of XMLDsig
is developed that can be used in this context.  Based on what I know
of XMLDsig, that seems unlikely, but this is ultimately a decision for
the working group.
