[xmlsec] Emailing: tmpl-EPM-sign-stylesheet.xml

Hi Aleksey,

    After numerous attempts to verify the Microsoft InfoPath-created dsig
which uses an XSLT transform, I decided to dummy it down and both sign and
verify it with XMLSec, to get some clues.

    The attached is the only stylesheet transform technique I can get
working with XMLSec. I verified this from the pre-digest transform put out
by --store-references. That is good. This working approach completely embeds
the entire stylesheet, HTML and all, under the Transform element like this
...

<Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116">
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
	<xsl:template match="books">
	<html><body>
	...

My question: Is there any way that XMLSec (libxslt ?) will honour a
stylesheet "reference" whose body resides outside the XML doc being
transformed ?

Simply adding ...

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="books.xsl"?>

... as the 1st line in books.xml doesn't do it. I also tried a href to the
stylesheet in several places both in the template and in the doc without
success.

Is this possible ?

Thanks,
Ed
