Interoperability testing was performed on 27 September.  
A report of the outcome is at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-canonicalization-comments/2007Oct/0000

Regarding the change from 1.0 to 1.1 highlighted in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Aug/0018
we will revert to 1.0 wording.

Regarding point 2 of the interoperability email, it sounds like
the issue is explained well in the email.  Glenn will try to
propose some wording to the XML Core list.

ACTION to Glenn:  Propose some new wording to address point 2
of the interoperability testing feedback email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-canonicalization-comments/2007Oct/0000

Point 3 complains about appendix A being too difficult to 
understand, partly because it uses 3986 language which is
also hard to understand.

We have three choices:

1.  say hard to understand isn't wrong, so leave it as is.
2.  delete appendix A altogether, possibly adding to the
    main text if there is anything "normative" only mentioned
    in the existing appendix.
3.  rewrite appendix A.

ACTION to Konrad:  Send us pointers to suggestions for rewriting
appendix A.

One such pointer is
