------- Comment #12 from andrew.eisenberg@us.ibm.com  2006-09-25 20:12 -------
The Testing TF discussed this at our meeting on Sept. 21 and decline to make
this change. In part this is because our decision to have implementors
canonicalize the expected result is one that was made a very long time ago and
has been found acceptable by many implementors. In part this is also because we
are about to "declare victory" when we publish XQTS 1.0.1 (containing bug fixes
for reports that we've received over the last several weeks).

I suggest that if you want to reduce the cost running the test suite
repeatedly, that you first replace our expected results with their canonic
representations on your local copy. We may produce some versions of XQTS beyond
1.0.1, but these will likely be few and far between.

By the way, we do acknowledge and appreciate the offer of your labor for the
change that you suggest.

Please close this bug report if you agree with this resolution.
