The new canonicalization does not seem to specify whether
a newline is appended after end-element tags.  It mentions those
after processing instructions and comments, though.

Does this mean that the canonical output would be a single line,
unpleasant to the eye like:

<root attrib1="dsadsa"><son
attr="fdsfds"><daughter>value</daughter></son></root>

I would have expected something along the lines of

<root attrib1="dsadsa">
<son attr="fdsfds">
<daughter>value</daughter>
</son>
</root>

Am I overlooking something pretty obvious ?
