 * A representation of the XML <code>Signature</code> element as

 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.
 * This class contains methods for signing and validating XML signatures
 * with behavior as defined by the W3C specification. The XML Schema Definition 
 * is defined as:
 * <pre><code>

 * &lt;complexType name="SignatureType"&gt;
 *    &lt;sequence&gt; 
 *      &lt;element ref="ds:SignedInfo"/&gt;

 *    &lt;/sequence&gt;  
 *    &lt;attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/&gt;
 * &lt;/complexType&gt;
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * An <code>XMLSignature</code> instance may be created by invoking one of the
 * {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newXMLSignature newXMLSignature} methods of the
 * {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class.
 *
 * <p>If the contents of the underlying document containing the 
 * <code>XMLSignature</code> are subsequently modified, the behavior is
 * undefined.
 *
 * <p>Note that this class is named <code>XMLSignature</code> rather than
 * <code>Signature</code> to avoid naming clashes with the existing
 * {@link Signature java.security.Signature} class.
