Subject: fyi: recent W3C work of possible SAMLista interest (W3C Weekly News- 4 January 2007)

(haven't looked closely, but seem worthy of some closer inspection)...

physical representation, the canonical form, of an XML document that
accounts for permissible syntactic changes permitted by XML 1.0.
Comments are welcome through 30 April 2007. Visit the XML Core
home page.

extended by other Web services specifications to describe a broad range
of service requirements and capabilities. Visit the Web Services Policy

Patent Advisory Group for Remote XML Events (REX) Launched
In accordance with the W3C Patent Policy, W3C has launched a REX Patent
