e.g. letsencrypt
NB: find out what the standard chain presentation order is: in xmldsig interop materials it appears to be (intermediates, cert), in fullchain.pem files handled by openssl it's (cert, intermediates)

Research direction
Start by comparing the XMLDSig interop materials with the ordering used in OpenSSL fullchain.pem files. Document signing with a Let's Encrypt-style certificate chain and clearly state the standard presentation order; done when the documentation resolves the ordering question and explains the expected chain format.
