Hi Alessio,
there are two reasons for this. First of all my boss asked me to provide a way 
to do such manual verification, so in case of contestations we can give more 
argumentations than "JBoss told me it was ok"; second, it's my personal 
interest to understand a bit more how these things work (I often need to 
re-implement things to ensure I've understood well).

It's strange that I need to transform the xml text in two different ways to 
calculate the correct digests: for a successful reference validation i need to 
put the referenced (canonicalized) element on a single line (no 
spaces/line-breaks between tags), while for a successful signature validation i 
need to remove only the leading spaces at the beginning of each line. 

Anyway I'm confused about xml canonicalization. I thought it was a way to give 
a single and unambiguous string representation of an xml, focalizing on its 
semantic. Instead, xml canonicalization preserves indentation of text and I 
can't understand the reason, I think I'm not getting its real purpose.

Thank you in advance for any clarification  :)
