I've written an unofficial test suite for XML Canonicalization based on the W3C XML test suite. Basically I compared the outputs from canonicalizing the entire W3C well-formed test cases using different processors. This test suite has been informally passed around among implementers of different C14N engines for some time now. However it's not as formal as it should be, and I don't really have permission to republish the modified W3C suite in the form this test suite requires, though I doubt this really bothers anyone. Would the W3C be interested in taking this over, reviewing it, and republishing it as an official test suite for C14N? It's already uncovered a number of bugs in different implementations, and I think it would be useful to make it more easily available. There might well be problems in it, and other tests that are needed, but I think it could be a useful starting point. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
