Difference between "normalize" and "canonicalize"?
Hi Folks, Consider these two sentences: 1. When an XML parser reads in an XML document it normalizes all line breaks to \n. 2. A canonicalizer tool will canonicalize empty elements to start-tag, end-tag pairs. Both "normalize" and "canonicalize" seem to mean: Put into a standard form. Do they in fact mean the same thing? If so, why have two terms? Why not have just one term? /Roger
