Has anyone been doing any xml signatures with ruby lately?  
I have my own complains about signing an XML document but  
unfortunately, it is a mandatory requirement for the project we’re  
working on right now…  
Anyway, after playing a lot with REXML and trying to create my own  
signature, I’m looking for a working alternative, even if that means  
to pipe the result of my script through another program. I’m thinking  
of java and jruby… any ideas?  
Oh, btw… I tried xmlsig, but the ruby bindings _and_ documentation  
sucks, they’re so not rubyish…

regards,
