RE: [xml-dev] Canonical XML

[Don Park <donpark@docuverse.com>]

BigBoss, could you elaborate on your comment?  What aspects of Apache
XML-Security project's XML-C14N implementation are 'seemingly' not strictly
compliant with the spec?  Last I heard, it passed the interoperability
tests.

FYI, I have not seen any 'no-strings attached' XML-C14N implementation other
than Apache's.  Frankly, I think stand-alone XML-C14N packages would be
pretty helpful for the XML community, something that will convert DOM node,
SAX events, and character stream into XML-C14N octet stream.  Full XML-DSIG
implementation changes runtime requirements as well as API quite a bit and
is not appropriate if you just want to canonicalize.
