Subject: xml canonicalization - proposition - elimination of element name from end tag
List-Id: <www-xml-canonicalization-comments.w3.org>
Can xml canonicalization further be extended to eliminate the need of the
name of the element in end tag / make it optional?
Objective here is to reduce the size of overall xml content
E.g.
<RootElement>
<FirstChildElement>
<FirstChildOfFirstChildElement></>
<SecondChildOfFirstChildElement></>
</>
<SecondChildElement></>
</>
There is a slight loss of readability here at the gain of reduced content
size.
Thanks
