At the moment, I'm a little bit confused. I don't know whether it's 
possible to create an obfuscated XPath transform which selects only parts 
of a sequence of Text/CDATA nodes?

I do the following: My c14n eats a NodeList which is a list of all (DOM) 
Nodes which are to be serialized. Then I traverse the DOM tree using a 
TreeWalker and if the current node is in the list, I output it. Now the 
tweak: when I encounter a Text/CDATA node which is in the list, I output 
all next-siblings of type Text/CDATA without checking whether they are in 
the list.

Sorry for the long URL (maybe broken in two lines), but here the change is 
visible:

c14n/implementations/Canonicalizer20010315.java.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9&diff_for
mat=h

Any ideas whether this is correct?
