Yes, it is cute :) but it probably doesn't help people more familiar
from the XML side of things rather than datatype mappings.  The
existing explanation does OK but I was just rewording the sentence to
be more linear:
  content-of root-element-of canonical-XML-documents(*)

(*) for some canonical

Yes, that would work.

Maybe ask the appropriate XML WG (xml digsig?) for which one?
I'd prefer the latter choice for now since we are using exc-c14n.
