xmldsig enveloped-signature xpath transform question

[Geir S Eidissen]

Task: Removing the Signature element from an enveloped-signature xml file.

The signed xml file is like this (SP=space, LF=line feed (ascii 10)), signature contents is not shown here

<doc>LF
SPSP<data>this is the data</data>LF
SPSP<Signature>...
SPSP</Signature>LF
</doc>LF

When removing the signature element according to the XMLDSIG-spec, is it correct that the result would be:

<doc>LF
SPSP<data>this is the data</data>LF
SPSP</doc>LF

Note that the two spaces indenting the <Signature> start tag is kept, and placed in front of the </doc> end tag.

Thankful for any comments on this
