enveloped-signature algorithm

Is it necessary to have the:

http://www.w3.org/2000/02/xmldsig#enveloping-signature

algorithm?  Can't this simply be implied?  When would you
not want to exclude the enveloped Signature element from
the canonicalization step?  It seems like additional
complexity that is not really needed.
