Hi Blake, I wasn't going to continue this thread yesterday because the discussion seemed pretty much over, but apparently one of the things you agreed to was not fully understood. Could you please explain why your proposed text is true? <blake> Joesph, How about something like: "Canonicalization is used implicitly when a node-set is converted to an octet stream in the transformation pipeline. Care should be made not to include it unnecessarily as an explicit transform. Doing so may affect core processing performance." </blake> I do not believe this is true. If you include it as an explicit transform, then the result is an octet stream, so a double canonicalization does not occur. Hence there is no performance degradation resulting from stating the c14n explicitly.
