Proposal for a new RDDL purpose: canonicalization

[Eric van der Vlist <vdv@dyomedea.com>]

I came recently to need a purpose which IMO can be of general interest 
and would like to propose the addition into http://www.rddl.org/purposes of:

<rddl:resource
id="non-normative-reference"
	xlink:title="Canonicalization"
	xlink:role="http://www.rddl.org/purposes#reference";
	xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/purposes#definition";
	xlink:href="#canonicalization"
  ><div class="resource">
<h3>canonicalization</h3>

<p>A resource documenting or implementing an application specific 
canonicalization algorithm. This feature is most usefull for 
applications allowing different syntaxes to express the same data model 
and provides then a way to define which syntax is "canonical" and may be 
used for document comparison, signature or validation.</p>
</div>
</rddl:resource>
