Thanks and I completely agree.
Struggling with not being able to use REXML in canonicalization is  
one of the things that brought me to ask.  I really didn't want to  
fall back on native code libraries for this, but I'm pragmatic and  
willing to accept bindings to libXML, etc. if that's the shortest  
road to a working solution.

Cheers,
Chris
