 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.
 * The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

 * </code></pre>
 *
 * A <code>Manifest</code> instance may be created by invoking
 * one of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newManifest newManifest}
 * methods of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class; for example:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   XMLSignatureFactory factory = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 *   List references = Collections.singletonList(factory.newReference
