Hi, All! I have a question about line feed normalization in C14N. The spec says that : http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315#Terminology - All whitespace in character content is retained (excluding characters removed during line feed normalization) http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315#DataModel If an XML document must be converted to a node-set, XPath REQUIRES that an XML processor be used to create the nodes of its data model to fully represent the document. The XML processor performs the following tasks in order: 1. normalize line feeds 2. ... During discussion in xmlsec mailing list we came up with two possibilities: 1) All '\r' characters from the document should be removed when document is parsed by XML processor. 2) All '\r' should be converted to "&#D;" by the parser. I would appreciate if someone can clarify this part of the specification. Thank you in advance, Aleksey Sanin
