I spent a little time trying to understand what position I18N took on the exc-c14n last call draft, which included the design decision to discard xml:lang, for which RDF Core is now getting so much grief. In summary, the dropping of xml:lang when a XML fragment is being carried within a larger XML document, does not appear to be a new issue, but one that was considered and accepted by I18N two years ago. Detail: Misha forward the last call to I18N: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-i18n-ig/2001Nov/0043.html There was some concern about the xml:lang issue [[ ACTION: Martin to ask for a health warning re problem with Exclusive Canonicalization, where xml:lang and perhaps namespaces get ignored when signing a payload. ]] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-i18n-ig/2002Feb/0020.html (12th Feb) This resulted in (as far as I can tell): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2002AprJun/0065.html (apr 21) (There seems to have been some off-list traffic just before) However, as far as I can tell, the end result was acceptable to I18N. (The minutes of the next I18N telecon record the action as done) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-i18n-ig/2002Apr/0106.html Jeremy
