Hm... Not to my knowledge. At least there were no reports in xmlsec 
mailing list
and I know that many people use xmlsec with MS .NET.

Thanks :) The best way to learn something is to use it :)

Ops.. My mistake, I've intentionaly decided not to use your home email :)

Well, the transforms are the most complicated part because you can 
optimize a lot. I have looked at
the current code and it seems that we can do some performance 
improvements. I'll probably send you
my suggestions later (it's my second day with C# and Mono and I am still 
learning).

I decided not to implement WS-S in xmlsec because of exactly the same 
reason. Don't want to
be sued by IBM/Microsoft :)
