Related notes:

2009-11-07 00:07:52: Currently the XML Signature 2.0 XPath Subset does not allow relative XPaths. Scott suggested that we should allow relative XPaths, and these XPaths should be relative to the node where the Reference URI was pointing to.

E.g. if the
<Reference URI="#id1">
<ExcludedXpath> ./foo</ExcludedXPath>

this should mean that you want to sign a subtree with id "id1" but exclude the <foo> subelement from it. [Pratik Datta]
