This is the beginning of revision history for this module. If you
want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the

If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any
history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow"
argument.

<H1>Canonical XML</H1>
<P>
This document defines a subset of XML called canonical XML.
The intended use of canonical XML is in testing XML processors,
as a representation of the result of parsing an XML document.
<P>
Every well-formed XML document has a unique structurally equivalent
canonical XML document. Two structurally equivalent XML
documents have a byte-for-byte identical canonical XML document.
Canonicalizing an XML document requires only information that an XML
processor is required to make available to an application.
<P>
A canonical XML document conforms to the following grammar:
<PRE>
CanonXML ::= Pi* element Pi*
element ::= Stag (Datachar | Pi | element)* Etag
Stag ::= '&lt;' Name Atts '&gt;'
Etag ::= '&lt;/' Name '&gt;'
Pi ::= '&lt;?' Name ' ' (((Char - S) Char*)? - (Char* '?&gt;' Char*)) '?&gt;'
Atts ::= (' ' Name '=' '"' Datachar* '"')*
Datachar ::= '&amp;amp;' | '&amp;lt;' | '&amp;gt;' | '&amp;quot;'
| '&amp;#9;'| '&amp;#10;'| '&amp;#13;'
| (Char - ('&amp;' | '&lt;' | '&gt;' | '"' | #x9 | #xA | #xD))
Name ::= (see XML spec)
Char ::= (see XML spec)
S ::= (see XML spec)
</PRE>
<P>
Attributes are in lexicographical order (in Unicode bit order).
<P>
A canonical XML document is encoded in UTF-8.
<P>
Ignorable white space is considered significant and is treated equivalently
to data.
