But each c14n would be unique in respect to a particular transform.
 James's wording is clearly talking about the range, not the domain.  In
other words the output of a c14n transform is unique even though its inputs
need not be.  I'm not sure it would be clearer to use wording to the effect
that it's a many to one transform.
