Comment:

Is the definition of PRFAlgorithmIdentifierType correct?
In my understanding, it prohibits Parameters elements.
oXygen (and probably Xerces) agrees with me.

WG Notes: Comment during CR Discussion http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec/2011Aug/0028.html

Resolution: The WG agrees with the interpretation that PRFAlgorithmIdentifierType prohibits Parameters elements. The WG also agreed and updated the schema and specification to add type="anyURI" to AlgorithmIdentifierType for the Algorithm attribute, resulting in the following updated definition: <complexType name="AlgorithmIdentifierType"> <sequence> <element name="Parameters" minOccurs="0"/> </sequence> <attribute name="Algorithm" type="anyURI"/> </complexType>
