I think it is time to read the spec and/or some
books http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/related.html

You have an XML file which is processed by XML parser. You can sign
any valid XML placed between these two tags.

Not necessary. You can sign external files as well. Just use URI
attribute in the Reference to point to it.
