4) CANONICALIZATION FOR XDI SIGNATURES

Work on XRD 1.0 in the XRI TC resulted in a decision to drop the priority
attribute and just rely on document order for priority. Also, the use of XML
signatures was carefully profiled to avoid complex canonicalization.

The combination of these two decisions raises the question of whether XDI
signatures can also be similarly simplified. In other words, could we not
specify that XDI signatures are simply done over the XDI document in
document order, with the only normalization being the removal of all
whitespace outside literals?
