Is it not time to update the XML canonicalization specification? When
everyone was using DTDs then canonicalization of just {XML, DTD} pairs made
sense. But now that many people are using XML Schemas it seems to me that
canonicalization needs to be upgraded to support {XML, XML-Schema} pairs.
Better yet, the canonicalization specification should be upgraded to handle
all 5 Validation Languages:
1. DTD
2. XML Schemas
3. RelaxNG
4. Schematron
5. OASIS CAM
That is, the canonical form of {XML, VL) should be the same (where VL = any
of the 5 Validation Languages listed above):
{XML, VL} --------------> Canonical XML
canonicalizer
