Henry, > I'm actually confused about this -- are you saying all _other_ parts > of the XML Sig schema use only string/'preserve' attributes and > elements? It's certainly true that schema-aware processing does not > preserve whitespace information, but that's true of DTD-aware > processing as well, in lots of ways . . . A parser MUST report any whitespace to the application as it has been detected in the parsed XML, according to XML 1.0: "An XML processor must always pass all characters in a document that are not markup through to the application. A validating XML processor must also inform the application which of these characters constitute white space appearing in element content." [1] Therefore I cannot share your concerns regarding DTD aware processing.
