I disagree, You canonicalize a document subset and the IDs move from one element to another. That sure feels like ID breakage to me (though one caused by a design flaw in canonicalization). Worth noting: you don't have this problem if you only do whole document canonicalization. > But insofar as an existing C14N implementation will not > work properly with xml:base and xml:id, there doesn't > seem to be any easy way to address this other than > not using xml:base and xml:id or not using the C14N > implementations that have this problem. It's not the implementations that have this problem. It's the spec. All conformant implementations have this problem. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
