That suggests that it's better for the test suite to use the output format that
most processors are likely to generate from their everyday serializers, for
example <a/>, rather than the canonicalized form which is <a></a>.

But I'm probably influenced by the fact that I chose not to use
canonicalization as my comparison method: instead (assuming string comparison
fails) I use a customized variant of the deep-equal() function applied to the
two node trees.
