Congradulations and thanks to the WG, commentors, and John for a job well done! I expect an equivalent InfoRFC will be published very soon. Forwarded Text ---- W3C is pleased to announce that Canonical XML Version 1.0 has become a W3C Recommendation. Canonical XML Version 1.0 15 March 2001 http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315 Author/Editor: John Boyer, PureEdge Solutions Inc. Abstract Any XML document is part of a set of XML documents that are logically equivalent within an application context, but which vary in physical representation based on syntactic changes permitted by XML 1.0 [XML] and Namespaces in XML [Names]. This specification describes a method for generating a physical representation, the canonical form, of an XML document that accounts for the permissible changes. Except for limitations regarding a few unusual cases, if two documents have the same canonical form, then the two documents are logically equivalent within the given application context. Note that two documents may have differing canonical forms yet still be equivalent in a given context based on application-specific equivalence rules for which no generalized XML specification could account. __ Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/
