Research direction

Start with the verify API and its verified data tuple, focusing on how XML elements and signed data are represented. Define whether the API should return signature and signed-data XPaths or document how callers derive them; done means one of those paths is available for assertion.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To allow more easily asserting on the location of the signature in the document, return the xpath of the signature and signed data (if signed data is an XML element), or document how to derive the xpath from the verified data tuple.
