As we are using XML Schema, technically, we have to conform to the XML
Schema rules.

line 684 - There is no description of the date/time format to use in
Timestamp. I propose adding the following text to line 684:

"The format of CCYYMMDDTHHMMSS.SSSZ" is REQUIRED to be used. This time
format is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)."

----

line 685 - I'm confused by the occurrence of SequenceNumber in the
RoutingHeader. Does the
SequenceNumber in a RoutingHeader take precedence over
a SequenceNumber located in the QualityOfServiceInfo? What is the
relationship of the
two sequence numbers?

At the risk of assuming too much I suspect the SequenceNumber element in the
Routing Header is instructing an
intermediary the order to process messages, relative to the message exchange
between sender and intermediary.
The Sequence Number in the Routing Header is not connected to the
QualityOfServiceInfo/SequenceNumber associated with the original application
message.

Personally, I would prefer to remove the SequenceNumber element from the
RoutingHeader in order to eliminate any potential for issues regarding the
two SequenceNumber elements.

----
line 710 is missing the <PartyId> element
----
line 711 is missing the <PartyId> element
----
line 712 - missing <CPAId>
----
line 715 - incorrect URN for the content of MessageId, the correct URN is:
mid:29dmridj103kvna
----
line 725 contains an invalid Timestamp format, correct format is
CCYYMMDDTHHMMSS.SSSZ
----

Examples at lines 735-778 all have the same set of issues as stated above in
lines 710, 711, 712, 715, 725
----

lines 780-792 - it's not clear what the UnSigned and None values are used
for. Are these vestigial from a previous incarnation of the document? They
don't appear within the contents of section 12, nor within the XML DSIG
spec.
----

Still reviewing, more to come later.
