I am mistaken here.  29500-2 clearly disallows any signature
property except SignatureTime of the namespace
"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/digital-signature".
I agree to close this DR without action.

But I find that many other W3C recommendations (such as
XML C14N) are used in examples in 29500-2.  I think that
these specs should be added as references and schemas have
to be modified.  I will submit another DR for this purpose.
