  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document W3C XMLENC (2002) in draft H.810
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: W3C XMLENC (2002)
Title: XML Encryption Syntax and Processing
2. Status of approval:
W3C Recommendation of 10 December 2002
3. Justification for the specific reference:
The XML Encryption Syntax and Processing is used for secure encryption of XML data within the Continua Design Guideline architecture. W3C XMLENC specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The data may be arbitrary data (including an XML document), an XML element, or XML element content. The result of encrypting data is an XML Encryption element which contains or references the cipher data.
4. Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
W3C is a Royalty Free organization. Identification of patent policy is available on the Web page http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
Document published in December 2002 (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/). Status is Recommendation.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
Document published in December 2002. Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/.
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
8. Any explicit references within that referenced document should also be listed:
