Hi, Attached is a signature with 9 XPath-transformed examples run through c14, exc-c14n and exc-c14n with an inclusive namespace prefix list. The XPath transforms variously manipulate the namespace axis to demonstrate c14n behaviour in different situations. For example: <foo:Root xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar" xmlns:baz="http://example.org/baz" xmlns:foo="http://example.org/foo" xmlns="http://example.org/" xml:lang="en-ie"> <bar:Something> <foo:Something> <bar:Something> <foo:Something> <baz:Something /> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> <Signature xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" ... /> </foo:Root The following XPath selects the bar:Something subtree, but only includes namespace nodes that are directly used by their parent element. ancestor-or-self::bar:Something and (self::text() or (namespace-uri() != "") or (string(self::node()) = namespace-uri(parent::node()))) I believe that the canonical form is then: <bar:Something xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar" xml:lang="en-ie"> <foo:Something xmlns:foo="http://example.org/foo"> <bar:Something xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar"> <foo:Something xmlns:foo="http://example.org/foo"> <baz:Something xmlns:baz="http://example.org/baz"></baz:Something> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> And I believe that the exclusive canonical form is: <bar:Something xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar"> <foo:Something xmlns:foo="http://example.org/foo"> <bar:Something> <foo:Something> <baz:Something xmlns:baz="http://example.org/baz"></baz:Something> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> </foo:Something> </bar:Something> Merlin
