DASDEC logs show CAP XMLSEC signature validation results.

Sage logs do NOT show CAP XMLSEC signature validation results (I haven't 
checked if Rev95 changes this).

Trilithic logs show warning CAP XMLSEC signature validation results.

Don't have any Gorman-Redlich boxes to check.

User interface debates -- do lots of spurious warning messages 
confuse or help operators.  Broken stuff won't get fixed if the operator 
doesn't know about it.  On the other hand, there are a lot of 'normal' 
errors that are only needed in diagnostic logs or when trouble shooting.
