Forwarding Cynthia's email to the group. Cynthia, I don't think I understood your email. What do you mean by "your idea of limiting these" ? Which idea are you talking about? As discussed in the F2F, I will be writing up a draft spec of C14n v2.0, and XML signature v2.0. The C14N algorithm will be "parameterized" - e.g. it will have parameters for trimWhitespace, sortAttributes, rewritePrefixes etc. Passing in false for all these parameters will result in a minimal canonicalization, whereas passing in true will result in a very robust canonicalization that can survive shredding and reconstruction. I am also thinking of assigning names to sets of parameter values, i.e.we could define the name "minimialCanononicalization" to be trimWhitespace=false, sortAttribute=false, ....
