Hello! My apologies for the late, late reply -- I haven't been following this issue very well! I guess my big question is whether this really needs to be part of the specification and SchemaNormalization. There are lots of reasons we might want useful, custom code that do schema transformations, including customized normalizations. Stripping custom user properties and "non-essential" metadata is certainly one of those! But is the specification necessary or useful for portability between languages or versions? What do you think about just adding the code and tools to do "custom normalizations" into the Java SDK and others without defining a new canonical form? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
