I think it's worth noting, myself, but I also think it's not out of the realm of possibility to specify the sort and "no subsets contained in other subsets" assumptions on the signing side (the "caller") vs. the c14n side (the "callee"). That enables a simpler subsystem for c14n, and the opportunity to avoid work when the calling code knows it's not required or has prior knowledge of the order. But I realize that the common case for not having to worry about it is when n=1, in which case it makes no difference. Just a thought. -- Scott
