Earlier this year, we dropped the requirement to deliver JSR 105 (XML 
Digital Signature API) as a standalone JSR [1], which will make it 
easier to add some long-standing enhancements to the API.

The first of those is to finally add support for generics to the API:

- all Collection and Iterator parameters and return types have been 
changed to parameterized types
- javax.xml.crypto.NodeSetData has been changed to a generic class and 
also now implements Iterable so that it can be used in for-each loops
- many SuppressWarnings annotations have been removed as they are no 
longer applicable
