With "Canonical XML", "XML Signature" and "XML Encryption", we have three standards that are related to XML and Security/Cryptography. This means that they _use_ Xalan and Xerces, but the do not extend them. For instance, my "Canonical XML" makes heavy use of the org.apache.xpath package, but it does not extend it... So it could be interesting to use some package namespace like org.apache.security or org.apache.xml.security for things like this. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christian Geuer-Pollmann" > Subject: Canonical XML > >> I've written a complete implementation of Canonical XML [1] and I'm > working >> on an implementation of XML Signature [2].
