Yup, see "Why XML Security is Broken", http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/xmlsec.txt, for more on this. Mind you ASN.1 is little better, there are rules for deterministic encoding, but so many things get them wrong that experience has shown the only safe way to handle it is to do an exact bit-for-bit copy from A to B, rather than trying to re-code at any point. I've frequently commented that there is only one workable rule for encoding objects like X.500 DNs, and that's memcpy().
