Yes, it has some clever techniques that work with bnodes sometimes, 
often, usually. Those are not the kinds of property of an algorithm that 
endear it to use in a security context. Jeremy himself said earlier in 
this thread that signing the source text is more appropriate to the 
current problem space, and I'd like to stick with that conclusion and 
move on!
