Re: URI References clarifications

Hi Mauro,

In section "4.3.3.2 The Reference Processing Model" there is stated that these XPointer URIs are used if you intend to support any canonicalization that preserves comments. The URI="" removes all comments from the document. The URI="xpointer('/')" preserves the Comments. See also [1] aboit this.

Best regards,
Christian
