Is that possible? It would rule out empty tags, and comments, and numeric entities and character references, except where required to preserve well-formed-ness. It would also require the elimination of whitespace normalization of any form, and eliminate the use of the BOM in UTF-8 documents. Also, namespace prefix mapping would have to go, or else namespace declarations would have to be done in a completely canonical way, which seems unpalatable? -Mike Sokolov
