Suggest the following changes:

Rename section 2 from "XML Canonicalization" to "Canonical XML 2.0"

Rename section 3 from "Use in XML Security" to "Use of Canonical XML 2.0 in XML Security"

Add subsection 3.1 "Use of Canonical XML 2.0 in XML Signature 2.0"

Add subsection 3.2 "Use of Canonical XML 2.0 in XML Encryption 1.1"

Move first paragraph of 3.1 to end, as a Note:

"Note: Exclusive Canonicalization may be used as a canonicalization algorithm in XML Digital Signature [XMLDSIG-CORE2], via the <ds:CanonicalizationMethod>."

Section 3.2:

Canonical XML 2.0 may also be used in XML Encryption 1.1, with changes as noted in the non-normative section " Serializing XML" of XML Encryption 1.1 [XMLENC-CORE1].

(Question - do we need to incorporate a revision of that section into C14N2?)

yes, I'd say go with the ones used in the schema

how about using NCName instead of "Name"?

replace "Element" with "QNElement" ?

if this helps at all.
