Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by examining the XAdES verification flow and defining the security model for unsigned and countersigned properties. Done means the behavior is specified, countersigned properties are separately verified if appropriate, XAdESVerifyResult exposes them, and the result is documented.
