Hi All,

When building my tooling classes I've made a habit of always extending  
AbstractSignableXMLObject.   I just realized that it is more likely  
that I should only be doing this for elements that I plan to sign.

ridiculous example:

<MyThing>
        <TrivialElement></TrivialElement >
        <ImportantElement id="imp_ele">
                <ImportantElementChild></ImportantElementChild>
        </ImportantElement>       
        <SomeOtherImportantElement id="so_imp_ele">
        </SomeOtherImportantElement >
</MyThing>

If I wanted to sign SomeOtherImportantElement and ImportantElement,  
then the tooling classes would extend AbstractSignableXMLObject,  
whereas, TrivialElement and MyThing could extend AbstractXMLObject.


Is this right?


thanks,

asa
