It's not clear that there needs to be one. If it's binary data -- such
as a JPEG or PDF -- then specify specify no transform. If it's XML, then
(sigh) re-serialize the infoset according to one of the several c14n
methods that are already out there.

Irrelevent; since Transform/@Algorithm is a URI, anyone can develop
a C14N spec. UDDI has an XSD-based one, for example.

Or that that wish, e.g., to work over existing transports.
