Title: Re: [xml-dev] Canonicalization
software


Elliotte,


I'm wondering how you are going to test these tools. The
canonicalization process should not change the data, though it will
re-order attributes and change prefixes.


You'd be welcome to use DeltaXML to compare the pre-canonical
form with the canonical form for your test data - either online
at
http://www.deltaxml.com/services/FreeDeltaNet/


or let me know and we can provide a command-line version for you
(you'd be better off with this if you are using local DTDs).


Look forward to hearing your results!


Robin

I downloaded and installed it from the W3C CVS, but even after
upgrading libxml to the latest 2.6.5 version, it flunks its own
regression tests. I'm not sure whether the bug is in the Python code
or libxml.  :-(
