Not sure what do you mean by this but it sounds good to me.

Well, I have no problems with adding something. But I want to keep API
stable and I am not sure
that I ready for xmlsec 2.0 yet :) It would be great if you can take a
look at current APIs and suggest
changes before will merge new xmlsec-nss code to the trunk.

Andrew, I have no objections of adding new features, new code, etc. The
only thing I want is to understand
what exactly each line of code in xmlsec is doing why it is written this
way and not another. The reason is simple:
I prefer to have as less bug reports as possible :)
