It has been mentioned before, as a way to clarify what qualifies as 
successful round tripping.  Successful round tripping means getting back 
"the same thing" if you convert from one FHIR serialization to another 
and back again.  But in deciding what we mean by "the same thing" one 
might not expect something like whitespace differences to count as 
consequential differences, whereas other changes definitely should be 
considered important.  The digital signature criteria provide a way to 
arbitrate between important and unimportant differences.
