I checked and both main C XML parsers I use in Raptor and they do support comments via the SAX API. However, neither support any form of XML canonicalization via the SAX API (libxml does via DOM however) In order to handle both, I would have to write a SAX-based XML canonicalization myself and consequently I would prefer whichever is easiest to write :) The other alternative is to only provide C14N when used with libxml and use its C14N DOM interface to do the hard work. <snip/> > I would have thought quite a lot already canonicalize anyway - if you do not > worry about resources that is the easiest path; and I would be surprised if > many do much with not visibly used namespaces. > > Do we know? > > If we were to make a change we should IMO ask the parser implementors who > have declared victory for their input. Certainly. I suspect it depends mostly on what XML parser C14N implementations are available per language. Dave
