---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: New Erratum E04 (Was: NFC) Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 15:44:53 -0500 From: Joseph Reagle <reagle@w3.org> To: merlin <merlin@baltimore.ie> Cc: xml-encryption@w3.org, duerst@w3.org As a result of this thread, I've added an erratum to the xmldsig REC: http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xmldsig-errata#E04 E04 2002-03-20 (Clarification) 6.5 Canonicalization Algorithms states for canonicalization with and without comments, "The two algorithms below perform text normalization during transcoding [NFC, NFC-Corrigendum]." While it is true the output of these algorithms will be in NFC it is not because they do the normalization themselves, but because "the XML processor used to prepare the XPath data model input is required (by the Data Model) to use Normalization Form C [NFC, NFC-Corrigendum] when converting an XML document to the UCS character domain from any encoding that is not UCS-based..." [XML-C14N, 4.2 No Character Model Normalization]. ------------------------------------------------------- -- 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/
