I was trying to create a Canonical form that agreed with Gregor's results 
in the attachement. However, I was misunderstanding what Gregor was trying 
to do -- and I didn't think should be done. So now that that is cleared up, 
I need to return to route out the bug exists in c14n.py instead of being 
confused (disagreeing) about something that wasn't being done. <smile/>
