Introduction
According to ITU procedures, as described in ITU-T Recommendation A.5, any normative
reference to documentation produced outside the ITU (other than ISO and IEC texts) needs to be
evaluated by the study group or working party before a decision is made to incorporate the
reference in an ITU-T Recommendation.
This TD contains the A.5 justification information for new X.893.
2
Referred documents and respective justifications
- Canonical XML Version 1.0 (2001): World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Canonical XML, W3C
Recommendation.
- This is a W3C Recommendation published in 2001.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML
canonicalization method. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML
Canonicalization Recommendation here. ITU-T Rec. X.893 specifies the use of the XML
Canonicalization method, thus industry needs to be informed of where XML Canonicalization
originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 1.
- Exclusive XML Canonicalization (2002): World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Exclusive XML
Canonicalization.
- This is a W3C Recommendation Published in 2002.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of Exclusive XML
Canonicalization. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C Exclusive XML
Canonicalization Recommendation here. Rec. X.893 specifies the use of Exclusive XML
Canonicalization, thus Industry needs to be informed of where Exclusive XML Canonicalization
originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 2.
- W3C XML Signature (2002): XML-Signature Syntax and Processing
- This is a W3C Recommendation of 12 February 2002.
-2- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML digital
signature processing and syntax. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML
Signature here. Rec. X.893 specifies the use of XML signatures, thus Industry needs to be
informed of where XML Signature originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 3.
- W3C XPath Version 1.0 (1999): XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0
- W3C Recommendation of 16 November 1999.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of XML Path Language.
It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML Path Language Recommendation
here. Rec. X.893 specifies the use of XML Path Language, thus Industry needs to be informed
of where XML Path Language originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 4.
- XML Encryption Syntax and Processing (2002): World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), XML
Encryption Syntax and Processing, W3C Recommendation.
- This is a W3C Recommendation Published in 2002.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of XML Encryption
Syntax and Processing. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML Encryption
Recommendation here. Rec. X.893 specifies the use of XML Encryption, thus Industry needs to
be informed of where XML Encryption originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 5.
- XML Information Set X891 (2004): World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), XML Information Set
(Second Edition), W3C Recommendation.
- This is a W3C Recommendation Published in 2004.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML Information
Set. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML Information Set here. Rec.
X.893 specifies a mapping from an ASN.1 SOAP message to a W3C SOAP message infoset (an
XML infoset), thus Industry needs to be informed of where XML Information Set originated as
it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
- Complete A.5 justification information can be found in Annex 6.
- XML Information Set X893 (2004): World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), XML Information Set
(Second Edition), W3C Recommendation.
- This is a W3C Recommendation Published in 2004.
- The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML Information
Set. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML Information Set here. Rec.
X.893 specifies a mapping from an ASN.1 SOAP message to a W3C SOAP message infoset (an

Justification for the specific reference:
The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML Information
Set. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the W3C XML Information Set here. Rec. X.893
specifies a mapping from an ASN.1 SOAP message to a W3C SOAP message infoset (an XML
infoset), thus Industry needs to be informed of where XML Information Set originated as it was not
defined by ISO or ITU-T.
4
Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
No Issues.
5
Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
XML Information Set was published in February 2004, and has been widely used. Conformance
requirements are clear, and the specification is readily and widely available.

The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of the XML Information
Set.
