[xmlsec] problem with <ds:Reference URI="#xpointer(//*[@authenticate='true'])"> ?

[Sébastien BROSSARD]

Ohh, I'm so sorry and ashamed I sent you those wrong command lines that I
used in previous tries!!
In fact, I use DTD in my code :
"xmlsec verify --dtd-file $DTD_Verif --keys-file $keyfile $inputName"

And 

"xmlsec sign --output $outputName --dtd-file $DTD_Sign --keys-file  $keyfile
$tmplName"

So now, this is it, the problem is the one below, with those command lines
above.

xmlsec --node-xpath selects the start *Signature* node. It has
nothing to do with xpointer in the Reference URI.
