Re: To be resolved: is ISSUE-57 [name of element in end tag /] still important?

I added this as a proposal in the Transform document
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-xmldsig-simplify-20090226/#canonicalization-element

See Section 4.4, bullet 4 about at the "serialization" attribute

|serialization| whether to output in regular XML format, or some kind of 
compact XML format. A compact XML would result in fewer bytes going to 
the digestor which would speed it up. EXI is one such format. Another 
suggested format is to remove the tag name from the closing tag. i.e. 
instead of |<foo>bar</foo>| use |<foo>bar</>|
