 * A representation of the XML <code>SignatureProperty</code> element as
 * defined in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">
 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.
 * The XML Schema Definition is defined as:
 * <pre><code>
 *&lt;element name="SignatureProperty" type="ds:SignaturePropertyType"/&gt;
 *   &lt;complexType name="SignaturePropertyType" mixed="true"&gt;
 *     &lt;choice maxOccurs="unbounded"&gt;

 *     &lt;attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/&gt;
 *   &lt;/complexType&gt;
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * A <code>SignatureProperty</code> instance may be created by invoking the
 * {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newSignatureProperty newSignatureProperty}
 * method of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class; for example:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   XMLSignatureFactory factory = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 *   SignatureProperty property = factory.newSignatureProperty
 *      (Collections.singletonList(content), "#Signature-1", "TimeStamp");
