Re: XMLLiterals and c14n

Yes.

Manu, I think the general issue in the tests is that it also include the
namespace for rdf. From an XML point of view, because in that specific
XML portion that namespace is not used, the canonicalization requires
the removal of that superfluous namespaces. besides, attributes must
appear in alphanumeric order (which I believe is the case already) and
there should be no extra spaces in the elements (which is again the case
already as far as I could see).
